1. What is your name?

Kaguya: Thank you for sending us questions. My name is Hazama Kaguya 間香久也. I'm pleased to work with you.

Momoka: Thanks for sending us questions, I'm Shigisawa Momoka 鴫沢桃花. I look forward to working with you.

2. What does your name mean? Did your parents/guardians or whoever named you have anything in mind when they gave you your name?

K: I'm named after the mythological princess of the moon from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. My parents discovered I was successfully conceived on tsukimi, so they gave me this name regardless of gender since they thought I was a gift from the mood god. Aside from that, the kanji combination means "eternal aroma"; quite sensual, I would say.

M: My name means "peach flower"; my father's name has the kanji for "plum" and my mother's has the kanji for "apricot", so they decided to name me after peach. Not only that, my name is also a reference to Momotarō, so I could grow up to be brave like the warrior who defeats an army of evil monsters.

3. What memorable experience did you have involving your name?

K: Momo, do you want to answer first?

M: Well, since my name is rather normal, all things considered, I don't have any special experience with it. Ah, sometimes my name is misread as "Tōka" though.

K: Oh, my name gets misread a few times too. Sometimes people confuse where my last name ends and first name begins, so I've gotten called things like "Aika Kuya" or "Maka Kyūya". Other times, since the kanji combination in my name is a bit unusual (though not an outright sparkly name), it's been read as "Kōkuya", "Kokuya" or "Kakuya". Oh, right, Momo, do you remember when you and I first met?

M: Yes, what is it?

K: We both noticed our last names are the same as the main characters in The Golden Demon, so I thought maybe fate brought us together, or something like that.

M: Oh, right, both Urato-kun's and Inasuke-kun's last names are like in The Golden Demon too, right? Maybe it really was fate, or the powers of Ozaki Kōyō, that brought us together.

K: However, Momo, you can rest assured that I'll never kick you to the ground unless you insist.

M: Kaguya-sama, you really are the kindest.

4. Do you have a nickname? Did you choose it for yourself or did someone else?

K: I'm a certified tea ceremony practitioner, so I have a tea name. A tea name is usually the character 宗 followed by a kanji in the person's first name. Mine is 宗久, which I read as "Munehisa".

M: Urato-kun nicknames all of us, doesn't he? He calls me "Momotchi" and you "Guyatchi".

K: Right, he even nicknames the Flowers too, for heaven's sake. He calls the Floating Hyacinth "Hotetchi" and the Sunflower Official "Mawatchi". One of these days, I'll give him another piece of my mind for his horrendous etiquette.

5. What would you name your pet(s)?

K: If I had a pet, I figure I'd try to stay on theme; I might name one Tama, after the jewel tree branch, or Ryū, after the dragon.

M: I'd stay on theme too; since I'm peach, I'd name my pet Sakura. If we're going by the Momotarō theme, I'd get three pets and name them Monkey, Dog and Pheasant.

K: Momo, that's way too normal XD

M: XD

K & M: This is all; thank you for sending us these questions.
