Gates
gatesu
ガテス is the name Gates in Japanese (Katakana).
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Guardian / Defender
wèi shì
eishi
衛士 is a Chinese title that means guardian or defender.
衛士 is also used in Japanese to refer to soldiers of the Ritsuryo system that were guardians of the gates of the imperial palace/court or guards posted at the grand shrine.
Great Lord / Tycoon
tai kun
大君 is the Japanese word Taikun. It's defined directly as liege, lord, or an alternate title for a shogunate.
The sound of this Japanese word entered the English lexicon by the 1800s but took the spelling of “tycoon.” Even President Lincoln was referred to as a Tycoon in the 1860s.
In Japan, this is still understood as “Great Lord” or “Big Boss.” In America, it means “Bill Gates” and “Warren Buffet.”
