What is Agitsune?

"University of Agitsune" is a team which will participate in ICPC 2013 World Final. The members are hos_lyric, rng_58, and wrong(japlj).

This is what I heard about What is Agitsune.

Animals

They like three animals, うさぎ(USAGI, a rabbit), うなぎ(UNAGI, an eel), and きつね(KITSUNE, fox), as seen in TopCoder.

Combining

They combined the names of the animals and coined two words.

  • うさぎつね (USAGITSUNE) ← うさぎ(USAGI) + きつね(KITSUNE)
  • うなぎつね (UNAGITSUNE) ← うなぎ(UNAGI) + きつね(KITSUNE)

This combining is natural, because ぎつね(GITSUNE) can be seen as Rendaku form of きつね(KITSUNE). (Remark that this is actually not proper Rendaku form of the word, but this rule makes them look natural.)

Wildcard Representation

these words can be represented by this wildcard pattern:

  • U-AGITSUNE

Abbreviation

Because University of Tokyo is sometimes abbreviated as "U-Tokyo", U-AGITSUNE now becomes "University of Agitsune."

Nice, I've been curious for what this name mean, who are the members of the other Toudai teams ? there's already a link for the photos of the contest ?
