Throughout the world, Wǔ (武 , Wǔ ) is a widespread primarily boy's, but scarcely feminine given name. The forename Wǔ is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a common primarily masculine, but very seldom feminine name. More prevalently, Wǔ is the last name as well as the forename.
Wǔ is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Zhu Wu , the Water Margin character; Takeshi Goda , the character in the Doraemon series; Takeshi Kovacs , the fictional character, Altered Carbon; Takeshi Yamamoto , the fictional character from Reborn! and Takeshi Nakazato , the fictional character from Initial D, among other works.
