Fighter in Japanese Calligraphy — 10 Hand-Brushed Designs

闘士 tōshi Fighter

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