Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.

Reading

  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

While words that are made up of a single kanji usually take the kun'yomi reading, this one takes the on'yomi reading. Luckily, this is the same reading you learned with the kanji, so it shouldn't be too hard to remember.
