The Story of Khyzen

Khyzen appears to be a modern creative name inspired by Kaizen (改善), a Japanese philosophy meaning continuous improvement or change for the better (from kai meaning change and zen meaning good). The KH spelling gives it a distinctive visual identity while retaining the philosophical spirit of the original. It may also be a phonetic variant of the name Kyson or an entirely original creation.
