It's pronounced "tan kyuu sha." And it means seeker or pursuer.

It can be Japanese but I think that is Chinese at this time.

The word 探求 is really use in Japanese language. Therefore 探求者 is almost never heard of.

Whereas, in Chinese language website it seems popularly used.

In any case, that means "Seeker".

If it was 探究者(read exactly same as 探求者) It could been Japanese.

it's japanese for "search person"

chinese.

"seeker", tan qiu zhe.
