Explanation and Etymology - (主人公) shujinkou
主人公 is a Japanese word composed of three kanji: 主 (shu), which means "main" or "master";人 (jin), meaning "person"; and 公 (kou), meaning "public" or "official". Together, these kanji form the term that can be translated as "main character" or "protagonist". The etymology of this word goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when kabuki theater became popular in Japan. At this time, actors were often called "master" (shu) and the main character was known as "role master" (shu no ko). Over time, this expression evolved into "main character" or "protagonist", which is the current meaning of 主人公. Nowadays, this word is widely used in various media, such as literature, cinema, television and video games, to refer to the central character of a story.How to Write in Japanese - (主人公) shujinkou
