It only really shows up alone as a name of Chinese origin though. There are plenty of names that use it with another character that are more Japanese. It`s usually read in those names as "Yori" (Like in 頼本 or 頼定) - but also occasionally as Rai when in a multi-character name too.

At least according to my dictionary.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
