Kanji 太 plump, thick, big around Related words 度ど 胸きょう がある Also means 'bold' or 'courageous', but focuses more on courage in the face of danger or risk, while 肝が太い emphasizes an unshakable, thick-skinned temperament.
肝きも が 据す わる Similar meaning of being fearless and composed, but 肝が据わる often implies a settled, steady nerve, whereas 肝が太い suggests a naturally bold and daring personality.
Etymology The expression literally means 'the liver is thick'. In traditional Japanese thought, the liver (肝) was considered the seat of courage and spirit, so a 'thick liver' metaphorically indicates a bold, fearless character.
