It helps me to choose kanji for him. The pronunciations of his name is unfamiliar in Japan, so if i write the kanji for ''Sergey'' as the pronunciation is,  it will be unnatural , and it'll have some feeling of wrongness. i'll tried to choose the kanji which seems to be natural kanji for his name. I wrote 4 patterns of the kanji like below. No.1 The first kanji is ''Sai'', which means a talent/a gift/ability . The second kanji ''gei'' means art/craft/technique . No.2 The first kanji is ''Sei'', which means clean/pure . The second kanji ''ge'...
