Name meaning

An interesting fact about Kurama's name is that it is also shared with a mountain situated in Kyoto Japan: Mount Kurama. When translated, Kurama means "stock house or warehouse horse". Kurama's full human name, however, is Minamino Shuiichi. In Japanese culture, surnames are listed first followed by their given name, though recently they've adopted the Western style of first names first. So either way is all right. The literal translation of his human name means "excellence first".

Also, his name according to Kabalarians gives the following meaning. While Kabalarians just kinda makes up name meanings behind the names given, it's still cool to read them.

The name of Kurama has given you a very imaginative, creative mind. You always have new ideas, but too often they are for an easy way out of a difficulty, or an easy way of making money. You are not inclined to apply yourself consistently to a job and to reach the fulfillment of your goals through perseverance and hard work. The influence of this name has caused you to feel unsettled emotionally and mentally. You are never satisfied with conditions, because your feelings and desires are so changeable. Hence you seek change in order to have the opportunity for travel, new experiences, and new friends and associates. There are people in your association who could influence you unfavorably and thereby mislead you; disillusionment, embarrassment, and bitter experiences then become your lot.

And also...

The combination of Shuiichi Minamino creates many fortunate circumstances, as something always turns up at the last moment to help you out of a difficult situation. Your overall desire is to be independent and you could be taken into positions requiring self-expression. In your business life you are likely required to meet the public and influence people through your personality and expression. These names cause you to scatter your efforts; situations so often start out with promise but fail to materialize satisfactorily. You find that money goes out as fast as it comes in. You could also be drawn into personal involvements of an awkward nature that interfere with your happiness and success. This name combination is not a good influence, as it does not allow personal or financial stability. Any weakness in your health could also show in the liver or the skin.
