Splatoon weapons by their japanese names

Name these Splatoon weapons with the help of their names in Japanese, both in kana and romanized -- with sometimes an extra hint or explanation! Only the base variants are used, no second or third kit names.

As general advice, remember that "r" in japanese is sort of inbetween the english "r" and "l".

one weapon was introduced in splatoon 3, five others in splatoon 2. others are series mainstays.
