AK-HAru Kenaustin Ardenol - lets break it down

Ak-Haru - definately sound chinese to me. the guy probably knows martial arts and is really good at it, almost superhuman; can subsist on little or no sustenance, and has infinite patience. Traits that would allow such a man to be successful as the Guardian of the One Tree.

KenAustin - well, in the southern dialects of the US, Ken is a more ancient form of Kin (before we knew about i) , meaning blood relation (possibly doubly so by blood and marriage, but that is a different topic) . Ken can also mean understanding and comprehension.

Austin is a direct reference to Col. Steve Austin, a man, barely alive, who was rebuilt by the government using bionics, a merging of machine man. Those ignorant of Col. Steve think this is only a TV show, but we know better -- it was a documentary. Steve was big in the southern US, like a brother to us actually, somebody we understood, so the chinese man was bionic and well loved in the south.

Ardenol - this smacks of drug companies. Tylenol, verdenol, noassitol, etc. Drug companies mean big business, and big bucks, which is the same thing .... We in the south don't have much money (but we buy a lot of drugs).. Our heros always have lots of money, like race car drivers.

Conclusion: Obviously, this is a loveable, bionic martial arts expert with money to burn and well loved by southern people.

Holy cow: Its Jackie Chan!
