List of Golden Kamuy Relationship Names

List of Golden Kamuy Relationship Names is a page for listing all Pairing Names in Golden Kamuy fandom. In Japanese fandom, order matters, that is, whether the Kanji is "left" or "right" of the other one. Shipnames often are the first kanji in a character's last names put together in order. For example, Ogata x Sugimoto can be either 尾杉 (おすぎ), where Ogata is left/tops/the seme, or 杉尾 (すぎお), indicating Sugimoto is left/tops/the seme.
Because Golden Kamuy features characters who's names are not in Kanji, shortened versions of their names in katakana are used. For example, Kadokura x Kirawus is 門キラ (かどきら). 門 is the first kanji in "Kadokura" and キラ is the first two katakana in "Kirawus." This ship can also be キラ門, reversing its order so Kirawus is left/tops/the seme.
In western fandom, different-order ship names are often used interchangeably. For example, KoiTsuki and TsukiKoi are both used for Koito x Tsukishima no matter their "order" in the ship, and it's a matter of personal preference which one western fans use. In both circles, it's common on Twitter to use emoji to represent characters in a ship, though in Japanese fandom this is far more prevalent.
