What does the name kazuma mean in Japanese?
It could mean '10,000' , also 'Original Truth' among many others.
[Names aren't supposed to always bear a meaning, in case of Japanese names there are almost always more than few ways to write a name, on which the possible meaning conveyed by the name totally depends.
Another matter is that simply knowing the meaning behind the names' consisting "kanji" doesn't essentially enable one to put together a meaning, or a correct one at least.]
=> 'Ikimasen' can be polite form of (1) 行く /i ku/ [to go/to continue] in negative conjugation.
It also can be the same form of (2) 生きる /i ki ru/ [to live].
=> The 'ka' takes it to interrogative (question form). So we have negative interrogative, which is very commonly used in asking someone politely/formally to do something. Same case could happen in English but less frequently.
In case (1) it would mean 'won't (you) come/go to...?' or 'please come/go to...' or 'let's go to...' or 'shall we go to...?' as the most common usage; and it would mean 'won't/doesn't go' in general.
Example: Uchi ni ikimasen ka? = 'Won't you come by my place?'
As you see it can be a simple question, or a polite request or suggestion in form of question in English as well.
In case (2) it wouldn't make much sense for it to be used in suggestive or requesting interrogative like in case (1) but it's not impossible or meaningless; it could mean 'won't you live...' or 'please live ...' or 'shall we/let's live...' in special cases. It would make much more sense for it to mean 'won't/doesn't live' in general, regardless of grammatical persons.
Example: Chotto akaruku ikimasen ka? = 'Why don't (we) live a bit more cheerfully?' [suggestive question]
Example 2: 'Ano otoko WA akuruku ikimasen ka' = 'Doesn't he live cheerfully?' [simple question]

What are the same meaning in Japanese folktale?
御伽噺 (otogibanashi) "fairy tale" and 昔話 (mukashi banashi) "folk story" have similar meanings in Japanese and are often used interchangeably.
What does the Japanese word do mean in English?
Depends on writing (kanji) and where it is used. It can be 度 a counter for degrees in general usage, as well as a counter for 'times' as in once twice etc.
E.g. 'sanbyaku rokujuu do' would mean '360 degrees' and 'nando renshuu shimasu ka?' [How many times do you practice] - 'sando' [three times/thrice]
It can be 土 which when used alone reads /tsu chi/ meaning 'earth, soil', but in compound nouns like 'doyoubi' [Saturday] it is pronounced 'do', in which case it is also used as an abbreviation for Saturday like in calendars, similar to how in English it is abbreviate to 'Sat.'.
"Shuu" is a Japanese word and in English it means "Week"
What do the Japanese words Do and Jitsu mean?
Separately, 'do' can be 度 [counter for degrees, counter for times/frequency] and 土 [meaning 'earth, soil', in general, read 'tsuchi' when alone, and read 'do' in compound nouns like 'doyoubi' (Saturday) and it can be abbreviation for Saturday].
'Jitsu' alone, means 'truth, reality'.
If you mean the two together, 'dojitsu' is not a word, the correct way to romanize it would be 'doujitsu' meaning 'the same day, the very day of'.
If you by chance mean 'doujutsu' like the term in Naruto anime it is written 瞳術, consisting of 瞳 [meaning 'eye, pupil', generally read 'hitomi' alone and 'dou' in compound nouns] and 術 [meaning 'technique, art, magic, skill', most commonly read 'jutsu' and sometimes 'sube' as well], together they mean 'ocular technique/magic'.

therefore it is de-hu-a
