EtymologyTakuto is a masculine Japanese given name written with various kanji combinations. The most common spelling includes the character 拓 (taku) meaning "expand, open, support," combined with either 斗 (to), which refers to a Chinese constellation (the Big Dipper) or a unit of volume, or 人 (to) meaning "person." Other combinations include 卓 (taku, "eminent, high" ), 巧 (taku, "skillful"), 焚 (taku, "burn"), or 寛 (taku, "forgive, tolerant") with various second characters. As with many Japanese names, the kanji used can reflect different meanings or parental wishes.Notable BearersTakuto (焚吐; born 1997), Japanese singer and songwriter Takuto Haraguchi (原口 拓人; born 1992), Japanese footballer Takuto Hashimoto (橋本 拓門; born 1991), Japanese footballer Takuto Hayashi (林 卓人; born 1982), Japanese footballer Takuto Hirakawa (永川 寛太; born 2003), Japanese footballer Takuto Iguchi (井口 卓人; born 1988), Japanese racing driver Takuto Inoue (井上 拓斗; born 1995), Japanese badminton player Takuto Koyama (小山 拓土; born 1982), Japanese footballer Takuto Kurabayashi (倉林 巧和; born 1992), Japanese cyclist Takuto Miki (たこみき; born 2003), Japanese footballer Takuto Niki (仁木 拓人; born 1987), Japanese tennis player Takuto Nogawa (野川 拓斗; born 1991), Japanese former baseball player Takuto Otoguro (乙黒 拓斗; born 1998), Japanese sport wrestler Takuto Yasuoka (安岡 拓斗; born 199…)Meaning: Combination of taku meaning "expand" or "support" plus to meaning "Big Dipper" or to meaning "person"; other variantsOrigin: JapaneseType: Masculine given nameUsage Regions: Japan
