Some kanji also have lesser-known readings called nanori, which are mostly used for people's names (often given names), and are generally closely related to the kun'yomi.
Gikun (義訓) are readings of kanji combinations that have no direct correspondence to the characters' individual on'yomi or kun'yomi, but are instead connected by the meaning of the written and spoken phrases.
Because of the ambiguities involved, kanji sometimes have their pronunciation for the given context spelled out in ruby characters known as furigana (small kana written above or to the right of the character) or kumimoji (small kana written in-line after the character).

This entrance (de) is one of the performative highlights of the play and has a number of movement and speech conventions associated with it.

Eventually the hanimichi was modified to create a playing space for the nanori ; a small platform called the nanori-dai was placed midway across the length of the hanimichi.

Some of these are movement conventions, and some of these are speech conventions, but most of these conventions are completely absent from European theatrical traditions.
One key convention is the nanori, or "naming," which eventually led to a modification of the hanimichi so that it would have special platform, called a nanori-dai, half-way across its distance to provide a conventional playing space for the "naming" speech.
In nanori, an actor making his entrance (de) across the hanimichi pauses to face the audience and announces the name and genealogy of the character he's playing.
