    "Hidden Adversary" is a story of a world of hidden heroes and monsters hiding in the deep shadow of the earth. There are various species of a being that have not been found waiting for its time to destroy mankind. People all over the world have witnessed people with special abilities and share it through the media of social networking site "Utube" and "Popbook". Nobody believed the existence of such beings until monsters, devils, mysterious creatures have appeared in the world tormenting the existence of humans. This is where the story of a 15-year-old boy Takoshi Takeo appeared to save the earth with other hidden heroes! The world of heroes is now happening in sunlight

    Takoshi? How is this surname written? Do you realize that all Japanese surnames actually has a meaning in Japanese and they are all written in Kanji? Which means there will never be anyone whose surname is 'Terebi'. Do you also realize that all Japanese surnames were based on samurai traditions? Which means their surnames must be strong, or at least have profound meaning if they follow Buddhist tradition.

    Takoshi can mean 'octopus city' (蛸市) or 'octopus death' (蛸死). If you want to create your own Japanese surname, you have to think about what it means and why the head of the family back then chose that name as their family name. A child who grew up being called 'octopus death' will just end up a psychopath.

    Given names are very important. Surnames are even more important, because they are usually called by their surnames, not their given names. Being called 'octopus' day in and day out will kill anyone.

    A long time ago in hentai city, a young man saw his lover getting banged by an octopus.
    He was ntr'ed!
    With tears in his eyes he promised to never rest 'til he killed them all (gotta kill them all).
    He would be their symbol for death, octopus death!

    You could maybe describe MC for us so we can make him a proper name or something. Does he, uhh, summon chickens to attack his enemies? We can name him Ishii Takeo. He gets to keep the name Takeo, too. Haha.

    (Unless of course it was an intentional and conscious choice and you were alluding to someone or something named like that e.g. Takoshi from Yakimon but we still dont know why if so.)

    Who is Ishii Takeo again? I feel like I've heard of this name before. A baseball player?

    To OP, my advice, if you're writing a Japanese name:
    1) Japanese people do not have three names. Two names only. If they have other names, that would be courtesy names or court names. It is impossible for a 15 year old boy to have courtesy names or court names unless he's either the heir of Matsudaira clan or a prince of the Emperor of Japan.
    2) Surnames must have either a strong meaning (samurai tradition) or profound meaning (buddhist tradition). All modern Japanese surnames are either descended from samurai families or granted by Buddhist temples.
    3) When you register your family name under koseki, they ask you what it means and how it's written. Some localities do not accept troll surnames.

    If you really want to use the characters 'ta' and 'shi', I'd suggest using a strong name such as 'Takahashi' (高橋), which means 'high bridge'. It is a strong name, as without a bridge, you can't cross the river and if your bridge is not high enough, boats can't travel along the river after the bridge is built.

    If you are attached to the characters 'ko' and 'shi', I'd suggest Kobayashi (小林). It means 'small forest' which is a good surname under Buddhist ideals alluding to peace and tranquility.

    Please take note that I'm not trying to kill you here. I'm willing to help you think of a good name, just tell us why you chose that name what you're trying to convey.

    Of course, it's your story, so it's your choice. However, don't expect people who know Japanese to read your story, because that name is extremely cringy.
