Etymology
Some on-line translator machines attempt to translate his name of "Genshi" to "genesis". This would make sense regardless of the accuracy of the translator as "Genesis" is used as a name to indicate the start of something, as "genesis" is the first book of the Christian Bible.
Genshi's status title is called "Genshi-kun" (ゲンシ君) in the Japanese version of the show. "Kun" is simply used to indicate he is a male of a younger age. He always address the rest of the cast by their given names (Sora, Tokio, Kyoichiro, etc), which in Japan would indicate he considers everyone close to him.
Trivia
- Genshi 's character and personality is similar to that of Goku from Dragon Ball.
