Ishikawa Maru 

A term derived from “Ishikawa Diagram” & “Kobayashi Maru” …. Defined as a term used by “Engineers” as well as other “Technical Professionals” to describe something that looked really good ON PAPER but FLOPPED BADLY in implementation &/or practice. Also a saying to describe a leadership or professional decision that crashed & burned.
Senior Manager #1- “How did the new hire do on his first day at work? He looked GREAT in his interview!”

Senior Manager #2- “Ishikawa Maru! …. A real FUBAR!!!”

One could ALSO SAY that the "Stand Your Ground" law (as written) is yet ANOTHER FINE EXAMPLE of a "Ishikawa Maru", in that it's aloud several know drug dealers as well as other well-known Florida State Criminals to commit murder, yet walk away from prosecution OR EVEN arrest by simply claiming "Self-Defense".

Yuki Ishikawa

an extraordinary man from Aichi, Japan. his soul is purely like an angel. he has the brightest smile that anyone could ever discover. he's the guy that you see in the volleyball court, stooping down with his hand on his knee and sometimes he be licking his dry lips or winking over his teammates. a kind of guy who makes you feel a tiny butterflies start filling your belly when you think about him. sometimes you can see a tiny sparks in his pupils when he got asked about volleyball and his dedication to live for the better. he's a very reliable captain.
girl 1: you watch volleyball in Olympic? you must be familiar with Ryujin Nippon' captain, Yuki Ishikawa, right?
girl 2: oh you mean Ran Takahashi's dad?

Takayuki "dj TAKA" Ishikawa

Indian. Energetic. Likes diversity but hangs out typically with other Indians. Shadowed by the white racial spectrum, but thrives academically and in the social spectrum. Ishikaas are dumb and selfish, but sweet and deep as well. Laughs a lot, but covers up traumatizing incidents and serious health problems. Trustworthy, Reliably, and able to influence people with just a sentence.
Ishikaa: Hey man, I got no boyfriend.
Girl 2 : It's in the name.

Indian , typically how the name suggests. She's confident, beautiful and always there for the people she loves . Ishikaas are dumb but strong, deep in their feelings and expressive of their emotions. She is competitive but also a softie at heart.
You're lucky to have an ISHIKAA in your life.
I wish I had a friend like ISHIKAA
yeah you're right , she's a gem!
