The name Aizen is deeply rooted in both Japanese and Buddhist traditions. It is derived from two Japanese kanji characters: “ai” (愛) meaning “love” or “affection,” and “zen” (善) meaning “good” or “virtuous.” Together, Aizen translates to “lover of good” or “one who does good deeds out of love and compassion.” In Japanese culture, Aizen is associated with the goddess of love and beauty, Benzaiten, and is also one of the Five Wisdom Kings in Buddhist tradition, representing desire, passion, and love. The name has significant cultural and historical importance, symbolizing both love and virtue.
