Daisuke is Japanese in Origin.

Daisuke is a masculine Japanese given name (pronounced da-ee-soo-keh) whose meaning depends on the kanji. Common spellings include 大輔 (“great help/assistance”), 大介 (“great mediator/helper”), and 大祐 (“great blessing/help”), combining dai (大, “big, great”) with suke (輔/助/介/祐, “to assist,” “mediate,” or “bless”). The suffix -suke has long signified “helper” or “assistant” in male names, giving the name an overall sense of “one who greatly helps” or “great support.”

Used in Japan for centuries, Daisuke flourished in the late 20th century and remains familiar through prominent bearers such as baseball pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka and figure skater Daisuke Takahashi. Outside Japan it appears chiefly within the diaspora. Variants are defined by kanji choice rather than spelling; related names include Keisuke, Ryosuke, and Taisuke. Diminutives and nicknames include Dai and Suke. Standard romanization follows Hepburn: Daisuke.
