Etymology[]
"Isshun Boy" is derived from "Issun-boushi" while using an approximate English translation of "Boushi". "Isshun Boy" translates into "In a Moment Boy."
"Minimoto" is a combination of mini and Miyamoto, a Japanese surname.
"Velominimo" is a combination of "velocità" (speed) and "minimo" (minumum).
Origin[]
Minimoto is based on Japanese folktale character Issun-boushi (Japanese: 一寸法師,Issun-bōshi), whose name means "3 inch son" (Issun being an ancient Japanese measurement that approximately measures up to 3 inches) due to his tiny frame. Issun-boshi fancied himself to be a samurai, and used a sewing needle as his answer for a blade.
