Okay, I'm finalizing Childhood of a Modern Dynasty chapter 4 and as
those of you have read it know, I mention the 'Team' in in.

But...I find myself wanting a better name for it. So any suggestions?

Basically the Team is an elite group of Tendo family members (from it's
many different branches) formed to battle certain enemies the Tendos
have managed to collect in the 60 years that CMD covers.

Something Japanese is okay (although samurai and ninja really aren't
really descriptive of what the team is), but should have a modern feel
to it (it doesn't gain a formal name for many years after the happenings
in 1998-1999).

Please send suggestions right to me, not the list. If you can include
translations for Japanese suggestions it'd help.

A warning though. Something like the "Blank-Blank
Association" with headquarters at such and such
address is often just a polite name for a Yakuza
gang.

It might be better for the formal name of the
'Team' to be for internal family use.
