Etymology[]
Otorishiba (鳳柴): Ōtori (鳳) means "male phoenix bird " while Shiba (柴) translates to "bush"
Ryoku (力) translates to 'power' or 'force' which may explain why he has a hot-blooded spirit.
Cure Phoenix: Ryoku named himself Cure Phoenix since his powers are fire-based and taking the word phoenix from the mystical bird who burns into flames and rise from the ashes, renewing its life.
