Itsuki is commonly written with a kanji meaning “tree” or “timber.”
Japanese given name that is dragon-meaning only in the kanji spellings that use the dragon elements, e.g. 竜也 (tatsu 'dragon' + ya) or 辰也 (辰 'dragon' of the zodiac + ya). Hedge: the reading is kanji-dependent and other spellings carry unrelated senses such as 達也 'accomplished/far-reaching', so the dragon meaning holds only for the 竜/辰 writings.
