Hey there, I have been using Ikei, as my closing remarks on any letter for a while, and after two separate people asking me about it, and not seeing any other reference to the word other than from the guys website I received it from I thought I might ask you to explore it further... It was passed to me with the understanding that it meant "respectfully regard" in english... If you wish to elaborate on it I would appreciate it.

Here is the data from Jim Breen's WWWJDIC:
