- Brother Four's name in Japanese is "Shi no ji" following the pattern for all the monk brothers names, with "shi" meaing "four" and "no ji" meaning "the digit" or "the letter". The only difference is that in Brother Four's case, the "shi" is written with the kanji for "death", also pronounced "shi". So it looks like 死の字 instead of 四の字. The pun is lost in English, although an alternative translation could be "Brother Shi", which a fraction of readers would likely understand, since the four/death connection is one of the more well-spread factoids of Japanese cultural minutiae.
