Kosuke is Japanese in Origin.
Kosuke (also written Kōsuke, Kousuke, or Kohsuke) is a masculine Japanese given name pronounced KOH-skay. It combines a variable first element ko or kō with the suffix suke. The suffix, commonly written 介, 輔, or 助, means "help, assist" and gives the name a supportive, reliable tone. The first element varies by kanji, shaping sense: 康介 "healthy helper," 浩介 "broad helper," 孝介 "filial helper," 幸介 "fortunate helper," 航介 "navigating assistant," 光輔 "radiant support."
Names ending in -suke were favored among samurai in the Edo period and remain familiar today. Kosuke has seen steady use into the 20th and 21st centuries; notable bearers include Olympic swimmer Kosuke Kitajima and baseball player Kosuke Fukudome, which lends the name a dependable, team-minded image.
