It is preferred in legal documents, academic journals, and other formal written styles. Once a person's name has been used with -shi, the person can be referred to with shi alone, without the name, as long as only one person is being referred to. O- and go- prefix[edit] O- (お-) and go- (ご-) are honorific prefixes used to
exalt nouns. They can be applied to things like a garden (お庭, oniwa) or to people in conjunction with a suffix, like a doctor (お医者さん, oishasan). O- is used for words with Japanese roots, while go- is used for words with Chinese roots,[7][1] although exceptions such as ojōsan (お嬢さん), oishasan above, okyakusama (お客様) where o- is used with Chinese words still occur. They are only ever used in the second or
third person, and when applied to an
object indicate respect for the owner of the object rather than the object itself. For example, one would refer to the parents of another as goryōshin (ご両親) while their own parents would be ryōshin (両親). [7] Usage[edit] Although honorifics are not essential to the grammar of Japanese, they are a fundamental part of its sociolinguistics, and their proper use is deemed essential to proficient and appropriate speech. The use of honorifics is closely related to Japanese social structures and hierarchies. [8] For example, a 1986 study on the notion that Japanese women spoke more politely than men examined each sex's use of honorifics found that while women spoke more politely on average than men, both sexes used the same level of politeness in the same relative situation. Thus, the difference in politeness was a result of the average social station of women versus men as opposed to an inherent characteristic.

He compared the duo's relationship similar to that of a buddy film and felt that the series' message involves humanity as Hyakkimaru becomes
weaker every time he restores a part of his body. [7] Suzuki said Hyakkimaru sounded too ikemen and was asked to tone it down. The actor said that Hyakkimaru never attempts to sound
