The word for four and the word for death are the same. There are many buildings in Japan that do not have a fourth floor. There is rarely a four in an address. Ku (pronounced keu) is nine in Japanese. I do not know the word for torture but I had never heard that it was similar to nine. I never saw a building without a ninth floor. Do you know what the word (or Konji) is for torture?
No, the elevator was not that detailed. So what do the Japanese call the 49ers? The Death Torturers is kind of cool, even if it doesn't really make any sense.
