The Japanese language has many homophones -- words that are pronounced the same but have different spellings and different meanings. Some alternative Hamachi refer to:
-A powerful migratory fish much like the bluefin tuna. According to
the United States Food
and Drug Administration, Hamachi is known as Amberjack, King Amberjack,
Buri, Racing Tuna, Seriora quinqueradiata, or Yellowtail. Some sources
say that the scientific name is Seriola lalandi. Other names it may be know
by include Japanese amberjack, Mojyako, Yazu, and Tsubasu.
-A kind of sushi
made with Hamachi fish. It has a light gold flesh. Like a chicken, it has
both dark and light meat. It is found on both U.S. coasts, but many sushi
chefs prefer to fly in specially cultivated yellowtail from Japanese hatcheries.
Compared to other kinds of fish, it is richer in protein, good fat, and
vitamins A, B1, B2 and D.
-An electronic
pet similar to a Tamagochi, written as a Java applet. Roger
Korman of Seattle says that, loosely translated, Hamachi means cute
little hamster. If you take good care of it, Hamachi will scamper around
your computer for 20 'months.' Source code is available as a zip
file or a gzipped
tar file
-A notch that starts the sharpened edge of a sword
-A gigabit
