His name's kanji "勝舞Shou-Bu" is a combination of his father's name "勝利Shou-Ri" means "Victory" or "Victor" and his mother's name "舞Mai" means "Dance", thus "勝舞Shou-Bu" means "Victory Dance" or "Dance of Victory". The pronunciation "しょうぶShou-Bu" is also a pun from "勝負Shou-Bu" which means "Win (or) Lose" or also "Duel."
