Many characters in Wish have been given names of gems. For example, when Kohaku told Shinichirou Kudou her name, he thought for a while and translated that as amber.

Gem details

Why I think the character is named after gem
|
Kohaku
Amber
|
- hard, yellowish-brown fossilised resin(gummy materials mixed with oils in trees)
- comes mainly from resins of pine trees
- may contain insects that were trapped as resin flow down trees
- used to make beads and ornaments
- word electricity comes from Greek word electron - when amber is rubber with cloth, it becomes electrically charged
|
I suppose maybe it's because of Kohaku's eyes. They are sort of yellowish-brown.
|
Kouryuu
Garnet
|
- group of hard glassy materials
- composed of silica and such elements as aluminium, calcium, iron, magnesium and manganese
- color range from red, brown and black to various shades of yellow and green
- some used in making jewelry
- red pyrope sold as imitation ruby
|
I suppose maybe it's because of Kouryuu's eyes and hair. The eyes are red and the hair is black(or is it purple?).
|
Hisui
Jade
|
- hard, tough and highly coloured stone
- widely used for fine carvings and jewelry
- chief colours of green and white
A fact: People thought that the greener the jade is, the better. It is not true for some. Jade should not be green but after being worn, it turns green because of the oil substances from the body(I saw this on television). But there are also some jades that are valuable and are dark green like the spinach jade.
