Hi, I know that Hana is flower and gata something about plural (for ex. anatagata is you(pl) isn't it?) So, is Hanagata something like flowers, or noses?

I'm not really sure but I think I read that it means rose...
that's why he holds a rose in his hand, and his hair has also the shape of a rose....

Hanagata actually means "star" or "famous person." He is rich, so that could explain why he's famous. ^^ But I think they tossed the flower in because of the Hana in his name, too.

After searching a dictionary someone gave me i've found the following meanings for Hanagata:
floral pattern, flourish, ornament, star actor

I decided to check over my resources (earlier I was relying on memory), and I got the exact same results that AchtungAffen got. Which raises the question: What dictionary do you use, Achtung? I wanna see if it's the same as mine. ^^

Also, I tried my book, and got the results of "star; popular person or thing." I think that sums it up. ^^

Mostly I just use it for Japanese an' French. Actually, I'm quite shocked it doesn't have German on there. O.o You'd think it would, what with all the other less-used languages.

In wich countries do they speak swahili? Is it popular or something? It hasn't much words, or it seems so. Merry Christmas for all!

I think hanagata gives a bit of fun to a story that had to be converted from sexual humor to something kids can watch. I read almost nothing of the manga, but it made me laugh much more than the anime (it sucks sometimes). But well, the anime has good qualities too. Greetings

I have no clue of what Hanagata means, but I just wanted to say this quote:

"Look Otaru! It's our pee!" - Hanagata

"Your ---- helped ruin the computer! Now the other marionette's are down!" - (I'm not sure who said this)
