Japanese word of the day

[pez]

Because someone asked me for a translation and so here it is:

詐欺師 (sagishi) - n. Swinder, imposer, crook.

Note that Niou's nickname is sagishi ;) the title "trickster" is actually fanon, not canon.

Manga though, likes to use the long words, from what I see XD

I dunno -_- on my dictionary, trickster isn't any of the translation for sagishi ^^" and if I look up trickster on English --> Japanese, it doesn't give me anything that is remotely Niou-ish :(

oh! there's also the "this sounds better in english" thing XD swindler sounds so beneath him hahaha ;;;;;; ._.

I think "imposer" is like, the most direct word, but it sort of lacks finesse as well XD and CROOK is just.... CROOK XD
