About the name Taichi
Taichi is a Japanese masculine name, most often written 太一, combining 太 (tai) ‘great, thick’ with 一 (ichi) ‘one’. The ‘one’ element has traditionally suited a first-born son, though other kanji combinations are possible, such as 太智 with 智 ‘wisdom’.

The name also belongs to Taichi Yagami, the lead character of the anime Digimon Adventure.
