Sosuke is of Japanese origin, derived from the elements "so" meaning "fast" and "suke" meaning "to follow." It's a unisex name, though more commonly used for males. The name Sosuke gained international attention when it was chosen by the character in the animated film "Spirited Away," directed by Hayao Miyazaki. This choice may have contributed to its increased usage among Japanese parents in recent years.
"The name Sosuke has seen varied popularity over the years, with a noticeable spike in recent times. After a brief decline from 2012 to 2013, it began to rise again, reaching its peak in 2022 and 2023 with nine births each year."
