星野葵，Hoshino Aoi,虽然和当红的星夜爱很接近，但来源和《我推的孩子》没有关系。

(资料图片仅供参考)

Though my name Aoi Hoshino is close to Ai Hoshino, a very famous name currently, it has no relationship with the anime ‘Oshi no ko’.

这个笔名的成形不会晚于2019年，而正式使用不会晚于2020年。

This pseudonym was determined no later than 2019 and was formally used on public network not later than 2020.

当时我的PIXIV名是Ruirui或者Racheal，考虑到Rui这个音日本人发不出来，用sei这个音也不太合适，于是我决定换个更合适的名字。顺带一提，有段时间用自己的姓去掉部分音之后当过日语名字的姓，但是那个词很少作为姓氏使用。于是决定取一个更加常用的姓氏。

At that time (2019), my pseudonym in Pixiv was Ruirui or Racheal. Considering of difficulty on spelling the pronunciation of "rui" in japanese, also, ‘sei’ which is the on-reading pronunciation of "rui" was not suitable as well，I decided to look for a more suitable pseudonym. By the way, I used to use a japanese family name which came from my original family name ignoring some syllables, however, that name was rarely used as family name in reality, thus I need to find a more common japanese family name.

名的选择很简单，我的名字里两个字直接训读是Ao和Ai，那时候也考虑过取名叫爱。但是考虑到爱真的是个非常常见的二次元名字，实在不想和《星期一的丰满》里的爱酱以及《地狱少女》里的阎魔爱重名，所以取了葵 Aoi这个合成的名字，倒也成功避免了更大的尴尬，不然现在要改名了w

月曜日のたわわThe selection of first name had no difficulty. Two words of my name are read as "Ao" and "Ai" by on-reading method. At that time, "Ai" was also considered as my new pseudonym, however, it is indeed as very popular name in anime. I donot want to have duplicate name with "Ai chan" in "Tawawa on Monday"(月曜日のたわわ) or "Ai Enma" in "Jigoku Shoujo". In this case, "Aoi", the combination of "Ai" and "Ao", are used as the first name of my pseudonym. Luckily, this decision avoid the impact from duplication with "Hoshino Ai", which may lead to re-choice of my pseudonym. 

原本选择的姓氏是星乃 Hoshino，源自《Angle Beats》OP里的歌词“数亿星辰将要渐渐远逝”，跟我之前用的姓 千夜 很搭配。但是星乃依然很少用于姓氏，于是选了同音的星野，参考是《俺妹》里的星野库拉拉。

Regarding "Hoshino" , the family name of my pseudonym, it came from one of the lyrics of OP of "Angle Beats" : "Billions of stars were fading down"(幾億の星が消え去ってくのを). It has marvelous matchs with my former family name "Chiyo", which means "thousands of nights". However, that "Hoshino" is also not a common family name, in this case, this "Hoshino" was chosen, refer to "Kurara Hoshino" in "Ore no Imoto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wakega Nai"(俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない-My little Sister couldnot be such cute).

这就是日文名字的全部由来。这个名字大概2020年左右成为了我PIXIV的笔名，而在2022年开始会用在K大的绘画课名单等一系列的地方。

Above is the whole story about my pseudonym. This pseudonym was used in Pixiv from 2020 and on 2022, it began to be widely used on network, such as as the name on the student list of drawing lessons.

英文的部分悬念则比较少，因为Rui这个音老外读着像鲁伊，所以当时的新加坡同事建议我把英文名改为Ray，而Ray是Racheal的昵称。所以英文名就选的Racheal，参考《老友记》里的Racheal。

Regarding my english name, my name in chinese Pinyin could be directly used in english,that was also what I did when I was aboard. However, the pronunciation of "Rui" is far from its original pronunciation in chinese. Taking the suggestion of my Singapore collegue, I used Ray as my english name instead. And Ray is the hypocorism of Racheal, that is how my english name Racheal came, refer to Racheal in "Friends".

就这样，16年开始画画的我在19年终于有了自己长期的笔名，虽然因为工作原因，没有基础的我一直画得稀烂，从而一直停在初学者这个阶段就是了。关于名字这件事，其实我觉得没有抄袭或者碰瓷的说法，现实里重名的人非常多，而且我这个名字也是会用在现实里的名字。但是笔名毕竟要有识别度，所以才会在意这些。

From then on, I, a guy started his artist career from 2016, had my long-term psedonym on 2019, eventhough I made no progress and remained as a beginner in the following 10 years since then due to I also had busy jobs as a Technical Engineer.

写这些是因为近期可能会慢慢完善15年就开始起坑的小说，也打算深化设定好的OC，所以在使用这个笔名之前做些必要的解释。

To write these is because I may continue to write the noval initiated on 2015, also, I need to paint more drawings for my own original character for the noval. It is very important to make some explaination before I continue to use this pseudonym.

OC的话，我的自设是黑发紫瞳的少女，肤色白皙，标志是头上合并了双子与天秤座的发卡。这是2017年就已经定稿的形象，虽然那时候的画力实在是。。。不提了，反正现在也没太大的进步。

Regarding my own charactor, in ACGN field, my public persona is setting as a girl with black hair, white skin and violet eyes. One of her significant characteristics is a hairpin standing for Gemini and Libra. This charator was created on 2017 and her images had been uploaded on pixiv soon after her creation, though with terrible painting skill.

其他碎碎念：

PS:

星野爱这个名字，我的理解是我推的作者为了贴合剧情而创设的名。取自一番星和爱这两个剧情关键点，即爱既是最耀眼的偶像，又是徘徊于自己对孩子的爱究竟是不是演技的难题上的普通母亲。很高兴“那份爱不是谎言，我爱你们。”（それでもまだ、君と君にだけは言えずにいたけど、やっと言えた、これは絶対嘘じゃない、愛してる）

Regarding the famous name "Ai Hoshino", my understanding is this name was created by the writer of "Oshi no Ko" to hint the plot. It should have deep relationship with two key themes: the idol shining as star and ture love under endless lies. ‘Ai’ has two contradictory roles: a famous idol with so many lies to others and a mother who is wondering if she could truely love some one. It is great to hear the lyrics: "Up to this day, I"ve not been able to let you and you hear me saying those meaningful words, I said it at last, I know it"s not a lie as I"m voicing these words, I love you.
