Kayoko

Kayoko is a feminine Japanese given name composed of distinct kanji characters that together create a range of beautiful meanings. The name typically combines three elements: 加 (ka) meaning "add, increase" or 佳 (ka) meaning "good, auspicious, beautiful" as the first kanji; followed by 代 (yo) meaning "generation, era" or 余 (yo) meaning "surplus"; and ending with 子 (ko) meaning "child". Thus, one possible rendering means "child of a generation of increase", another "surplus good child". The name is common in Japan and many variations exist due to the flexibility of kanji combinations.
