10 Senku Ishigami Facts That Every Dr. Stone Fans Must Know!

Ishigami Senku, the big brain protagonist of the anime Dr. Stone, became loved by the viewers for his intelligence and the innovative inventions he carried out in the anime. The character is quite endearing even if you are not into all the sciency stuff.

Senku‘s main motto is to revive all humans who were petrified and go on to make his own version of the world termed as the kingdom of science. Other than being the first person who broke free from the petrification (apparently) and the one who was able to concoct the stone formula to de-petrify the stone effigies, here are some facts about Senku Ishigami that ever Dr. Stone fans must know!

Warning! The following post contains spoilers for Season 1 of Dr. Stone anime!

1) Senku is the stone god of the petrified world!

The fact is derived from the meaning of Senku’s name. In Japanese, “Sen” means a thousand, and “Ku” means sky and together it reads the “a thousand skies”. But, even more interesting is the meaning of his surname. “Ishi” means stone “gami” means god, and he can literally be viewed as a “stone god.” Considering the setting in which Dr. Stone is set (with people turning into stone effigies and Senku setting out to save everyone), the name given to him seems pretty apt.

2) Senku’s childhood dream was to go into outer space

Senku is pretty bad when it comes to reciprocating romantic feelings!

Surprisingly Senku is decent when it comes to interaction with women. Generally, a smart character tends to be ignorant and patronizing but Senku never abhors anyone, but the pay-off is that he’s terrible when it comes to women.
