Question Hello, Me & my friends are starting our own clan & will be attending the Anime North Convention in May 2008. I really like the name "Kage Shizoku". Does that mean "Shadow Soldiers" or "Shadow Warriors"? I really would like to know. Can you please help?
Thank you for your time;

Answer Hi,
In this case, the actual meaning comes out to be 'Shadow Clan' or the like. The interpretation is entirely up to you in this case. Depending on the context/circumstances Shizoku can mean clan/branch/family. Though is usually in reference to Shinobi periods.
