Description
New illustration ! Here is Ho-Oh, shining atop the Tin Tower in Ecruteak City .Do you know where the peculiar name of Ho-Oh comes from?
Ho-Oh ホウオウ comesfrom the Japanese transcription of Chinese 鳳凰 Hōō (Fenghuang, the name of the Chinese phoenix it is inspired by), but also a fusion of 2 Japanese kanji 火事 Ho (fire) and 王 ō (king) . Ho-Oh therefore means the King of Fire! Rocks, no?
