Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [d͡ʑa̠no̞sɨke̞] Forms: 蛇之助 [canonical] (ruby: (じゃ), (), (すけ)), janosuke [romanization]
Etymology: Appears to be composed of 蛇 (ja, “snake, serpent”) + 之助 (nosuke, a common suffix component amongst male given names). Two explanations are suggested: * An allusion to the Japanese legend in which the storm god Susanoo-no-Mikoto fells the eight-headed serpent Yamata no Orochi by first intoxicating it with large quantities of alcohol. * In reference to snakes' tendency to swallow things whole, therefore likening this to excessive drinkers' habitual consumption of large quantities of alcohol.
