もえ

  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

Think about that newly sprouting moe (もえ) character you have a crush on. Yes, this is the same moe. Congrats, you already know it!
