kyushu means in japanese, nine states. but theres no nine states in it.
kyushu referred to chinas nine states in ancient times.
kyushu might mean china when first settlers came to the island
kyushus adjacent region is chugoku
chugoku literally means china
again chugoku might be named after china where first settlers came.
dont forget some part of kyushu was a part of country in korea in 3rd century
figure of country has been changing always and is indeed ambiguous
by completion of kyushu shinkansen from kokura to kagoshima, via fukuoka, kumamoto, integrity and independency of kyushu will strengthen much more than before
