I'd never heard of bokashi before, so I get to learn stuff, too. :D
I would normally say that you gradate the colors or you gradate the inks, but you can make a gradation (or 'the gradation' if you're acting directly on this specific gradation).
I don't know the name-kanji, either (the only thing I know is that the 'go' in 'Goku' can be translated as 'satori' and that's from rachelmanija's recent post on Goku and Zen). She knows some kanji and is a Saiyuki fan, so she might know their names if you need confirmation.
In the pictures, Hakkai's on top, Gojyo's in the middle and Goku's on the bottom. It's entirely possible that whoever did the layout on the book didn't know the series and got it wrong, too. Or that the pictures don't really correspond to the text - I've seen that happen in art books, when the art director's power goes to his or her head and they choose good pictures instead of the correct pictures.
