mugen = unlimited/endless - not quite a direct translation. Ask Yoshi, he knows more Japanese than I do. No idea about the kanji in the logo though.

Re: OT. what does Mugen mean in english? (AssPenny)
the two characters are actually Chinese characters
pronounciation is MO-HAN
MO= NO
HAN= LIMITS
Hence, NO LIMITS

Re: OT. what does Mugen mean in english? (Warren)
the chinese and japanese written language share certain characters... the two in Mugen being an example... sometimes they sound the same and mean the same thing.... and sometimes when you put together the way they are used in japanese and try to read them as chinese they come out as confusing nonsense...

Kanji are the chinese characters, hirigana (sp?) are the japanese...but if you live in Japan and can't read your kanji, you're screwed. forget about reading the paper.

Ross is right.
Kanji are Chinese characters but the Japanese have adapted them into their language. There are two pronunciations "On Yomi" and "Kun Yomi" readings and the combos depend on what context. Then they have the Hiragana and the katakana as well.
Therefore,
–³ = mu in JDM
–³ = mo in CHDM
ŒÀ = han in CHDM
ŒÀ = gen in JDM
There maybe some words in JDM that use CHDM pronunciations but I dun have my JDM dictionary to help me now.
