About the name Kyōko
Kyōko is a Japanese feminine name. Its meaning depends on the kanji chosen: the usual spelling 京子 combines 京 (kyō) ‘capital’ with 子 (ko) ‘child’, while the less frequent 鏡子 uses 鏡 (kyō) ‘mirror’. Other characters read kyō, such as 恭 ‘respectful’, also appear. The final element ko is a traditional ending for Japanese girls’ names. A modern bearer is Kyoko Yoshine, a Japanese actress whose name is written 芳根京子. The spelling Kyoko, without the macron, is the usual form outside Japan.
