@contortionist104 I didn't think of that. But Kikuyu had an imoto at san nin mae. That's usually when they are oneesan, unless there is a lack in girls. I stand corrected. Thank you for letting me know. I did look for the info and you are correct. Please forgive me. Gomen nasai.

@contortionist104 oh thanks im not too good at knowing whos whos oneesan

[contortionist104]

@tumblefan101 No. its this way

Kikuno is oneesan of Kikuyu

Kikumaru is oneesan of Kikushino

Kikutsuru is oneesan of Kikune.

And probably the next Maiko will be the little sister of Kikuyu

[contortionist104]

@Fuyuumesan

Wrong, Kikune's oneesan is Kikutsuru... Probably the next shikomisan will be under Kikuyu's wing but Kikuyu was just around 2 years Maiko when Kikune had her debut far too young to have a imoutosan (little sister)

[tumblefan101]

@contortionist104 well kikuyu is actully kikunes oneesan

[Fuyuumesan]

Also, Kikuno is Kikuyu's oneesan. Kikuyu is Kikune's oneesan. Keep in mind, Kikuyu is now geiko.

1. Kikuno - Yellow Chrysanthemum

2. Kikutsuru - Chrysanthemum to wish long life

3. Kikumaru - Elegant Chrysanthemum

4. Kikuyu - Delicate Chrysanthemum

5. Kikune - Chrysanthemum True

6. Kikushino - Chrysanthemum Stem

I'm not sure of the meaning.
