Fighter (toushi)

Here we offer 4 different hand-brushed Japanese Fighter tattoo designs by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase. For these Fighter tattoo designs the fonts are different, but the characters and the meaning are the same. So order the style you like - the meaning is the same for each design.

Fighter in Japanese is 闘士 which is read toushi. The Japanese word toushi is composed of the kanji 闘 (read tou) meaning "fight" and 士 (read shi) meaning "gentleman; person". Fighter (toushi) does not have a specific connection to the Samurai (samurai) and Way of the Warrior (bushidou) traditions as does Warrior (musha) for example. And note that toushi, as is true with most Japanese words, is not gender specific and so may be used by both men and women.

Translations You Can Trust: We want you to be as happy with the Japanese translation as you are with Master Takase's beautiful art. So we have made it easy to confirm the translation for yourself by simply clicking on Fighter (toushi) which links to the independent Jeffrey's Japanese English Dictionary. You can also verify the translation using Yahoo's dictionary entry Fighter (toushi).

With your order, you will receive everything you need for the perfect Fighter in Japanese Tattoo. Your design comes as an Adobe PDF file which means it will print exactly as Master Takase brushed the design and, of course, it includes the line art (also called a stencil) which your tattoo artist must have to properly ink the design.

The Adobe PDF file completely documents the design and contains everything your tattoo artist needs to properly ink the design. Your tattoo artist does not need to know Japanese.
