Based on my understanding on the chinese characters in her name (or kanji), the following is what each character meant:

Spoiler:


I hope I am onto something here. Inputs/corrections/comments are welcome.

P.S: We all know what Saki means, right? So, the name of the 2nd MC must have some symbolism, right?

I think 穏 (Shizu) in this mean quiet or calm, referring to her "negating" ability. This is the easiest to figure out

For 高 (Taka), it was rather hard with the amount of information we have. But I think this is referring to mountain, after that last scene with mountain like that. And in mahjong, mountain is known as "wall" as well. I'm inclined to believe Shizu ability is controlling that wall...

That ability related with her "negating" skill too, because if Shizu can control the wall, then Shizu can control which tile the player draw, no matter what supernatural ability they have.

And for your information, dice in mahjong give major factor on the wall arrangement...

For 鴨 (Kamo), that's referring to Shizu character I think
