I've got a human monk I'm trying to come up with a title for. His name is Kai and he's young and very full of himself. I'm looking for a title that's obviously too much, way over the top, and that he might have come with himself. Common isn't his native language and he would come up with something that might sound cool but betray he's using words to big for his own vocabulary or that were awkwardly translated.
I skimmed through some anime titles (cause hey, where better to look for mistranslated, over the top shlock) and decided that "The Humanoid Typhoon" from Trigun is along the lines I'm thinking. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks guys.

Big worded ones -
The Irrepressible Suzerain (I.e. Unstoppable Master)
The Redoubtable Combatant (I.e. Formidable Fighter)
Normal but silly ones -
Mountains Fist
Dragon's Tongue
Man of 1,000 Fingers (meant to say techniques)
The Quick Tortoise
Rabbit's Foot
The Nailed Hammer
Normal over the top -
Master of All Masters
Emperor of Fists
King of Kicks
The Human Tidal Wave
-------------------------
Anyways, just a bunch of randomness. Haha. Maybe one of these sparked an idea.

Kai, The Wave of Destruction
Kai of the Hurricane Fist
Kai, The Unstoppable Force
or...
Kai, The Chosen One.
He has 5 billion Echo-cast subscribers to his popular show, Kai's Corner. And he owes Marcus $9.
Yes.
Also, since you said you were just skimming titles, "The Humanoid Typhoon" is not a title that Vash bestowed upon himself. It is a title that the insurance company bestowed upon him to justify classifying him as a natural disaster, since wherever he goes destruction follows in his wake (through no fault of his own; he's a technical pacifist). They got tired of paying through the nose for regular property damage and decided to classify him as a natural disaster to cut their losses.
So basically there's flood insurance, fire insurance, and Vash insurance.
The relevance of this is that perhaps it's better to have the title come from your accomplishments later down the line, instead of from the start.
Also also, watch Trigun. It's one of the greats.

He was impressed by a tale of a master who beat back a hurricane with his mastery of martial arts, and so chose the title 'Kai, Breaker of Wind.'
He could carry that theme on, using boasts that mean something completely else (of which he is completely unaware), such as bragging about how he can hold his breath for hours by saying, 'You cannot drown one such as I, who have slept with the fishes!'
He might brag about how his training includes the secrets of 'silken steel' (whipping cloth around so that it can cut or pierce flesh) by claiming that he spent long hours learning how to 'push rope.'

Or 'Kai the obviously and understandably very (raises one eyebrow) VERY unchaste. Fancy a drink, milady?"
"I'm sometimes referred to as Kai, the reason your wife left you..."
"Oh. that wasn't your wife... how extra horrible for you then... what were we talking about?"
"They call me Kai... The Pied Piper of [redacted]tang...."

Kai, lord defender of the meek, true master of the jilted cougar style of the polished pearl clan, commander of the ancient scrolls of unending trade winds, king of all munchkin clown ninjas, emperor of the twined blue ovoids of vigor, priest of downtrodden mountain goblin boatmakers and grand senchal of distracting exposition to allow the rest of my party to buff up for the ambush you just attempted. Also periodic memeber of the table for retention of the element of surprise. *crunch*snap*scream*gurgle*crunch* ah, truely this one loves his work

I don't know if I can ever watch Gurren Lagan the same way again.

You could also name him Kai the Fist Wielding Hitchhiker.
Or Kai "My Top Spins Faster Than Yours" Hiwatari
Actually, Kai is a font of these. Just replace the middle name with "I Invented The Word Impossible" or "I Am The Champ, Whether You Like It Or Not".
Now you're on to something. Middle names...
Kai ... Wait for it ... Sir
