To anyone who speaks Japanese....

Does anyone have any idea what the following means?

ハラボジ (romanized as haraboji)

I can't seem to find a translation anywhere, and it's driving me crazy as it's a rather crucial word in a song I'm translating. Any help would be much appreciated.

Shame, shame. Your browser either doesn't have or Asian language support or it's not turned on.

I can see it. Sadly, I can't read hiragana or katakana. Now if you had the kanji, I might be able to help since I read a little Chinese and I definitly have the resources to find out even if I didn't know the character.

Question marks?! Pfft. How common.

Squares are far more interesting, and that is what I see. :P

I see the characters, but I'm afraid they mean very little to me ^^;

Well, after Googling around, I found that "haraboji" is Korean for grandfather. I don't know if that helps, but maybe it can give you a lead.

Haraboji is the name of a cool sword from the native island of Ki-taka

Oh, thank you so much! In the lyric booklet it's all in Katakana, and the singer is half Korean ^^;;;
