What does Obama Mean in Japanese? Obama has meaning … in Japanese. In fact “Obama for Obama!” t-shirts were a hot Japanese item in 2008.
Obama in Japanese means “Little Beach”.
Obama (Obama-shi) is a city located in Fukui Prefecture, Japan. Says Wikipedia:
“In the Edo period, Obama was the capital of the Obama Domain and was the starting point of the Mackerel Road to Kyoto. The area was municipalized as a city in March 30, 1951.”
During the campaign, Obama Japan supported Obama the candidate, which prompted Barack to state:
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the city of Obama for your support and encouragement and thank you for your thoughtful gift. We share more than a common name. We share a common planet and common responsibility. I look forward to a future marked by the continued friendship of our two great nations and shared commitment to a better, freer world.”
The gift was from the mayor of Obama - a letter, DVD and lacquerware chopsticks. In October 2008, Seiji Fujiwara who lead the Obama for Obama campaign in Japan, told press:
“We are very proud to share the name of our town with Obama. We very much hope he wins. We think he would make a very good president.”
