Odd Name Out / Anime & Manga

• In the subbed TBS version of Aggretsuko, most characters have pun-based Western (or at least non-Japanese)-sounding (Eaglette, Doug, Giselle, Zelda, Heinrich, Lester, Wolfgang, Hippatricia, Scatherine, Lucille, etc.) or alliterative (Ape Admin, Hog Honcho, Boss Buffalo) names, except for Retsuko and Yokosawa.
• The Godhand from Berserk consist of Femto, Void, Slan, Ubik and Conrad. Femto is the odd name out, as the rest of them are named after science fiction books: Destination Void by Herbert, Slan by van Vogt, Ubik by Philip K. Dick and And Call Me Conrad by Roger Zelazny. Femto, on the other hand, takes his name from a measure unit.
• In Black Clover:
  • Each of the Magic Knight Squads is named "[Color] [Animal]," except for the Golden Dawn, the most elite Squad.
  • The Vermillion family includes Fuegoleon, Mereleona, Leopold, and Mimosa.
• The main characters of Black Lagoon are called Dutch, Revy, Rock... and Benny.
• Bleach:
  • Rukia is the only Soul Reaper, and possibly the only Japanese character in the series, whose name is spelled not in kanji or hiragana, but in katakana. Her name is the rough Japanese pronounciation of the Western name "Lucia" (though no Westerner would pronounce it that way).
  • Gantenbainne is the only Espada with a zanpakutou that does not possess a Spanish-themed named. Dragra seems to be a completely made-up name.
• In Bloom Into You, Yuu is the only one of her group of friends- the others being Koyomi, Akari and Natsuki- whose name doesn't end with an I. The same goes for Touko and her friends' surnames- Touko Nanami, Sayaka Saeki, Midori Igarashi and Manaka Yoshida.
• In Burst Angel, the main characters are named after the heroines of Little Women, substituting "Sei" for "Beth". A Lampshade Hanging occurs in the OVA, where Sei ends up commanding an airship called the Elizabeth. Appropriately, Beth's name is the odd one out in the original novel — she's the only March sister whose name wasn't changed from Real Life.
• Case Closed:
  • The suspect in a murder is both the literal odd guy out (he's something of an introvert and doesn't get along well with the rest of the group) and, as Conan quickly realizes in a "Eureka!" Moment, the only one of that circle of friends that doesn't have an airport-based name.
  • In another case about an inheritance dispute, the climax is when the will is read. "Machiko, Hiromi, Hidekazu, Yoshiyuki, Keiko... Carlos."
• Death Note:
  • Light is the only Yagami not to have a name that starts with "S" (Sochiro, Sachiko, Sayu). He's also the only one with a non-Japanese name.
  • Then there's the Wammy's boys: L, Beyond, Mello, Near, and... Matt. If you look closely, however, you see that Beyond is the odd name out: Near is the nickname of Nate River, Mello is Mihael Keehl (the German pronunciation of "Michael"), and L is in fact "El" (a Jewish name that means "-of God"). Beyond is the one without a real-life name.
  • In a meta sense, each episode title is only a single word with the exception of the final episode, "New World."
• These are the Japanese given names for each lead protagonist over the seven seasons of the Digimon anime: Taichi, Daisuke, Takato, Takuya, Masaru, Taiki, Tagiru, Daigo. Masaru is the only one who isn't a gogglehead.
• Dragon Ball:
  • The various members of the Red Ribbon Army have names themed around colors, such as Commander Red, General Blue, Colonel Silver, and Ninja Murasaki ("purple" in Japanese). Dragon Ball Z retroactively introduces their lead scientist, Doctor Gero, whose name goes against the Army's naming convention.
  • Piccolo is one of the only Namekians in the series who doesn't have a gastropod-themed name, being named after a musical instrument instead. This is because he was "born" on Earth (the original Piccolo was split off from Kami after he tried to purge the evil from his soul, and his "son" is a replica of him), and didn't discover his extraterrstrial heritage until many years after he was born. The Namekian that split himself to form Kami and Piccolo presumably had a gastropod-themed name, but both of them forgot that name long ago. Subverted, however, in that he also has four "sons" named Tambourine, Cymbal, Drum, and Piano, who follow his naming convention.
• In Dr. STONE, nearly everyone in the village is named after a mineral. The exceptions are Genbu/Soyuz, who was born elsewhere, and Suika^note "watermelon", who's Only Known by Their Nickname.
• Episode 14 of El Cazador de la Bruja is titled "Maple Leaf", as opposed to all other episode titles that contain either the word "man" or "woman" in them, and is the largest continuous Mood Whiplash in the entire series.
• El-Hazard: The Magnificent World: Jinnai names five of his six Bugrom soldiers after the Marx Brothers, with the last one named Margaret after Margaret Dumont, who served as the comic Foil to the Marxes.
• In Fairy Tail, most guilds, including the eponymous one, are simply two word names, usually an adjective of some sort followed by a noun, and often a reference to some sort of animal or mythological creature. Orochi's Fin is the only one to have "no" in the original Japanese name.
• In Fate/stay night the Servant Classes are: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, and... Assassin. Alternatively, "Saber" is the odd name out, as it is the only class named for a type of weapon, as opposed to the term for a person who wields the weapon (which would be "Sabreur").
• Fist of the North Star has an unintentional example with the three brothers descended from the Ryuoh bloodline: Kaioh, Raoh and Toki. Originally it was just Raoh and Toki, who had a Sensitive Guy and Manly Man kind of rivalry: Toki was a pacifist who wanted nothing more than to use his powers to heal the sick, while Raoh was a tyrannical conqueror who sought to become the world's greatest warrior. Kaioh was later introduced as Raoh and Toki's estranged brother and he turns out to be a more insane version of Raoh, but with a scar on his face.
• The few non-European names in Fullmetal Alchemist not from Xing really stand out. For example, the named military characters includes Hughes, Hawkeye, Mustang, Bradley, Marcoh, Archer, and... Hakuro. In a Japanese manga, Hakuro doesn't matter for crap. (It's thought the author meant to name the man "Halcrow", and mistransliterated it.)
• In Gasaraki, Yushiro is the only one of the Gowa sons to lack the "Kiyo" (清) character in his name. This is probably symbolic of how he's the only brother who's Locked Out of the Loop when it comes to the family's true ambitions and plans, not to mention his own nature.
• Gintama: The Elite Four during the Joui War and their badass titles: "White Yaksha" for Gintoki, "Noble of Terror" for Katsura, "Demon Army General" for Takasugi and "Loud Guy" for Sakamoto (though he was also called "Dragon of Katsurahama").
• Jewelpet: the titular pets are named after the jewels that make up their eyes, sometimes using the full names (Ruby, Larimar) or shortened ones (Io for iolite, Tour for tourmaline). The exception is King, the Jewelpet of onyx.
• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
  • Stardust Crusaders:
    • Noriaki Kakyoin is the only non-Joestar of the Crusaders whose name isn't a musical reference, unlike Avdol (named after Paula Abdul), Polnareff (named after Michel Polnareff), and Iggy (named after Iggy Pop).
    • While Stand names being musical references would become the standard for later Parts in the series, this Part instead has them named after tarot cards or Egyptian gods. This causes Kenny G's Tenor Sax and Vanilla Ice's Cream to stand out. And even when taking later Parts into account, Tenor Sax still stands out for being the only Stand to be named after a musical instrument, rather than an artist, album, or song.
  • Josuke Higashikata from Diamond is Unbreakable, as well as his Alternate Universe counterpart from JoJolion, are the only JoJos whose names don't have two "Jos" in them. While the "-suke" in their first name can be spelled as "Jo" in Japanese, it's still not as obvious as names like Jonathan Joestar, Joseph Joestar, and Jotaro Kujo.
  • Golden Wind:
    • Mario Zucchero is one of the few villains in the Part to receive a full name. He stands out because, unlike the other villains to receive full names, Vinegar Doppio and Risotto Nero, Zucchero is a minor villain who's unaffiliated with the Hitman Team or the Boss's closest underlings.
    • While not every character follows the Edible Theme Naming of the Part, Illuso (whose name is the Italian word for "Deluded") stands out for being the only member of La Squadra to not abide by the rule.
  • Steel Ball Run:
    • Oyecomova's Stand, Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure, is a twofer in this regard. It's both the only Stand whose name is written in Japanese instead of English, as well as the only Stand to be named after a song lyric, being the Japanese interpretation of the hook to the Santana song "Oye Como Va".
    • Wekapipo and Magent Magent are the only two characters in the series to be named after Japanese songs (Soul'd Out's "Wekapipo" and "Magenta Magenta", respectively).
    • D-I-S-C-O's Stand, Chocolate Disco, is the only Stand whose name is a reference to a Japanese song, Perfume's "Chocolate Disco". Even when taking the previously mentioned Wekapipo and Magent Magent into account, it still stands out, as "Wekapipo" and "Magenta Magenta" are sung in English despite being by Japanese bands, whereas "Chocolate Disco" is sung almost entirely in Japanese.
  • JoJolion:
    • Unlike other Rock Humans, who have taken on Japanese names, Poor Tom is the only one who has an English name.
    • Mitsuba Higashikata's Stand, Awaking III Leaves, is the only Stand in the entire series to not be named after a tarot card, Egyptian god, or be a musical reference, or at least, not be obvious in its reference. This has led the fandom to try to find something, anything that it could be a reference to, the most common being James J. Pellerite's "Awakenings: No. 3. Leaves Floating (On a Slow Stream)". However, this still remain unconfirmed.
• In Kuroko's Basketball, all the members of the Generation of Miracles have names that start with a color, and their hair and eyes are that color. The only exception is Kuroko, whose name means "black child" but has light blue hair and eyes.
• The Legend of the Legendary Heroes features the Eris siblings: Iris, Ferris, and Lucile.
• Macross: The Jenius family mostly have names starting with 'M', and two of those who don't are variants on "Milia", their mother's name (Komilia and Emilia), with even the adopted member of the family following the pattern. And then there's Therese Jenius.
• In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT, Linith is the only member of the Lanster to not follow the "Names starting with Ti sound" pattern, because she was an entirely unrelated character in the main canon.
• The wielders of One For All in My Hero Academia fall into this. There’s Yoichi, Kudo,Hikage,Diagoro, Ein, Nana, Toshinari, Izuku and the third who is…Bruce. Everyone except Bruce and, well, Izuku, also has kanji in their name referring to the order they wielded the quirk in.
• Naruto:
  • Poor Neji ("screw") is the only Hyuga not to have a name about the sun, light, or fire, which may be because he's the only one who wasn't born to a main branch member. Every other Hyuga has names which relate to those three things, including such minor member as Ko Hyuga (whose name means "light" in Sino-Japanese).
  • Neji's father, Hizashi, is unique for being the only known branch Hyuga to have a name dealing with the sun, light, or fire; this most likely has something to do with him and current Clan Head Hiashi being the sons to the previous Clan Head.
  • Filler Villain Raiga Kurosuki is probably an unintentional example. The other Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist (as well as former aspiring member Suigetsu Hozuki) are all named after fruit, but the anime writers had apparently not yet figured out the Theme Naming from the two canon members that had already been introduced when that filler arc was made. He's also the only one that lacks pointy teeth as the other members reveal.
  • All of the Mangekyo Sharingan's abilities are named after Shinto gods and items (Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, Yata no Kagami, Totsuka no Tsurugi, Kagutsuchi, Kotoamatsukami, and Yasaka no Magatama, plus the non-Mangekyo Sharingan techniques Izanagi and Izanami), except for Kakashi's and Tobi's ability, Kamui, which refers to any deity from Ainu mythology.
  • Hamura seems to be the only Otsutsuki not to have names that deal with either Japanese or Hindu mythology. And yes, this includes his descendant Toneri, who is named after the editor of Nihon Shoki.
• The Angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion all have names ending in "-el"- Ramiel, Zeruel, Israfel, etc.- with two exceptions:
  • Sandalphon. The "-el" ending means "of God" in Hebrew, and those named angels in Judeo-Christian lore do indeed mostly have names ending in "-el", although there are exceptions, and Sandalphon is one of them.
  • Tabris, aka Kaworu Nagisa. There is no angel named "Tabris" or anything like it in Judeo-Christian lore. A common theory is that Gainax is referencing the Yah theophory name "Tabbris" meaning "Good of Yahweh or Yahweh is Good". If true, however, that still makes Tabris the odd one out, since he is the only one without an actual angelic name.
• The characters in Oh, Suddenly Egyptian God are all Egyptian deities as implied in the show's title, like Anubis, Thoth, and Horus... and then there's Otter. Which is a deity in the form of an otter. Doubles as A Dog Named "Dog".
• One Piece:
  • The Eleven Supernovas all have meaningful names... except Killer. (Word of God is that he was given that name out of sheer laziness on Oda's part.)
  • The Medaka Mermaid Quintuplets are named Ichika, Nika, Sanka, Yonka... and Yonka Two.
    Usopp: Why isn't it Goka?!
  • The original Seven Warlords all have an animal theme in their name, and then Blackbeard ended up taking Crocodile's spot.
  • The Blackbeard pirates are all named after historical pirates except for Doctor Q. Although later on, they pick up Shiryu who also doesn't fit the naming theme.
  • The male agents of Baroque Works are named after numbers (Mr. 0, Mr. 1, etc.), while their female partners have calendar-based names (Miss Wednesday, Miss Merry Christmas, etc.). Two in particular stand out:
    • Miss Doublefinger is named after Eiichiro Oda's personal gesture for January 1.
    • One agent, an Okama named Bentham, takes on both naming schemes at once as Mr. 2 Bon Kurei (frequently mistranslated as Bon Clay), due to having no female partner, as he prefers to play both parts.
  • Lola is the only member of the Charlotte family that isn't named after sweets. Fittingly, they're also the White Sheep of the family
• In the English dub of Pokémon: The Series, Misty's older sisters have a Floral Theme Naming of Daisy, Violet and Lily with Misty retaining the original pun of her favourite Pokemon type. It emphasizes how she is considered by her sisters as the The Runt at the End.
  • Brock in the Japanese dub is this with his entire family, where's named Takeshi. He's the only child in his family that doesn't have a numerical-themed name such as Jiro, Saburo, or Nanako. He's also the only one in his family whose name doesn't end with the letter "O".
• Powerpuff Girls Z has the three main leads as Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru. Kaoru's name doesn't start with "M" and doesn't end with "ko" (probably a reference to how Buttercup in the original was named to fit her sisters). Their Magical Girl names avert this: Hyper Blossom, Rolling Bubbles, and Powered Buttercup. The English dub averts this as well by making their civilian names Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.
• Pretty Cure
  • Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash★Star: Daisuke is the only member of the Hyuuga family whose name doesn't end with an "I" (the others are his wife Saori and daughters Saki and Minori).
  • Fresh Pretty Cure!:
    • Cure Berry is the only Cure whose name doesn't begin with a "P" (the others are Cure Peach, Cure Pine, and Cure Passion).
    • Love is the only Cure with an English name (the others are Miki, Inori, and Setsuna).
  • HeartCatch Pretty Cure!:
    • Erika is the only Cure whose name doesn't end with an "I" (the others are Tsubomi, Itsuki, and Yuri).
    • Potpourri is the only fairy whose name doesn't begin with a "C" (the others are Chypre, Coffret, Coupe, and Cologne).
  • Suite Pretty Cure ♪:
    • Cure Muse is the only Cure whose name relates to a profession and not a musical term (the others being Cure Melody, Cure Rhythm, and Cure Beat).
    • Ellen is the only Cure with an English name (the others are Hibiki, Kanade, and Ako).
  • Smile PreCure!: Miyuki is the only Cure whose name doesn't contain a word for a colour (the others being Akane, Yayoi Kise, Nao Midorikawa, and Reika Aoki).
  • Glitter Force: April is the only member of the Glitter Force whose name doesn't end with an "ee" sound (the others are Emily, Kelsey, Lily, and Chloe).
  • Doki Doki! PreCure: Alice is the only Cure with an English name (the others being Mana, Rikka, Makoto, and Aguri).
  • Glitter Force Doki Doki: Rachel is the only member of the Glitter Force whose name doesn't end with an "A" or an "IE" (the others are Maya, Clara, Mackenzie, and Natalie).
  • HappinessCharge Pretty Cure!: Yuko is the only Cure whose name doesn't contain an "I" (the others being Megumi, Hime, and Iona).
  • Go! Princess Pretty Cure: Minami is the only Cure whose name doesn't end with an "A" (the others are Haruka, Kirara, and Towa).
  • Maho Girls Pretty Cure! has a blatant one: Cure Miracle, Cure Magical, and Cure... Felice.
  • KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode: Ciel is the only Cure whose name doesn't end with a vowel (the others being Ichika, Himari, Aoi, Yukari, and Akira).
  • HuGtto! Pretty Cure: Cure Yell is the only Cure without a French name (the others are Cure Ange, Cure Etoile, Cure Macherie, and Cure Amour).
  • Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure: Cure Star is the only Cure with a one-syllable name (the others being Cure Milky, Cure Soleil, Cure Selene, and Cure Cosmo).
  • Healin' Good♡Pretty Cure: Chiyu is the only Cure whose name doesn't contain an "A" (the others being Nodoka, Hinata, and Asumi).
  • Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure: Laura is the only Cure with an English name (the others being Manatsu, Sango, Minori, and Asuka).
  • Delicious Party♡Pretty Cure: Cure Precious is the only teammate whose name doesn't relate to food (the others are Cure Spicy, Cure Yum-Yum, Cure Finale (as in dessert being the finale of a meal), Rosemary, and Black Pepper).
  • Hirogaru Sky! Pretty Cure: Sora Harewataru is the only Cure whose surname doesn't contain an "I" (the others being Mashiro Nijigaoka, Tsubasa Yuunagi, and Ageha Hijiri).
• A semi-example: Most of the Rozen Maiden sisters are named for jewels. Hinaichigo, Suigintou and Kanaria are not.
• Sailor Moon:
  • Sailor Moon includes the kanji for the senshi's planets in their last names, save for Aino Minako, whose name comes from Venus being the goddess of love. Fitting this, Minako is also the first senshi to draw her powers from her planet's namesake rather than from what the kanji means. This is because she was created first for Codename: Sailor V.
  • Like her respective planet, Sailor Uranus is the only one named after a Greek god (instead of his Roman equivalent Caelus), while the other Sailors are named after the Roman names of the gods.
  • In the Outer Senshi, Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto's last names are Ten'ou (天王), Kaiou (海王), and Meiou (冥王). They mean sky king (Uranus is the Greek "ur-god", the personified sky the way Terra is the personified earth), sea king (Neptune is the Roman name for Poseidon, the god of the sea), and dark king (Pluto is an alternate name for Hades, god of the death and the underworld). The Japanese name for Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (the planets) are Ten'ousei (天王星), Kaiousei (海王星), and Meiousei (冥王星). See the pattern? ...Sailor Saturn's last name is Tomoe (土萠). It means sprouting earth (and has no connection to mythology whatsoever). The Japanese name for Saturn is Dosei (土星), so Tomoe seems to fit the inner senshi's naming scheme. The reason is simple. Saturn is visible with the Naked eye and was long-ago given a name drawn from the Five Elements. The outers required telescopes to see and were learned of through Western Contact, which is why the names are translations from the Roman Latin ones. Saturn's the odd one out because the creators went with the Moon to fill out their Five-Man Band.
  • Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite stayed the same in the DiC English dub of the first anime, Engrish (Jeddite, Nephlite, the oi as a diphthong) notwithstanding. Kunzite became Malachite. Big hint he's Beryl's last henchman. Beryl herself qualifies. Also, Jadeite and Nephrite were the first two. A lot of Odd Name Out going on.
• The Ly Five in Shaman King. The other four all have names that end in -ly (Sally, Lily, etc), but the leader's name is Sharona. Naturally, this is intentionally played for laughs when they first introduce themselves.
• In Sket Dance, in one chapter we get introduced to the cast of Sentai parody Show Within a Show Slender (not that one). The Five-Man Band are the Red Commander, Blue Subleader, Pink Cheerleader, Sepia Expander, and Cocoa Brown Suspender. The Big Bad Duumvirate are Death Salamander and Sidewinder. Other characters include Bartender, Spy Spider, Slim Crusader, It's All Over, Clam Chowder...and Anthony. Anthony won the 13th place in the second popularity poll, despite only appearing in that one chapter.
• Inverted in Str.A.In.: Strategic Armored Infantry: most of the characters' names come from A Little Princess, but the rare ones whose names come from other Hodgson Burnett novels have a much smaller role in the plot. Colin, Mary and Cedie existed to die, while Martha and Dickon are barely around.
• Tokyo Mew Mew:
  • The Hwang family consists of Honcha, Lucha, Hanacha, Heicha, Chancha and Bu-ling. Bu-ling avoids her younger siblings' suffix-based Theme Naming in order to fit into the food-based theme of the Mew Mews (Bu-ling being a pun on pudding).
  • In addition, the English version of Tokyo Mew Mew has Pie, Tart, and Kisshu. "Kisshu" would be the Japanese spelling of "Quiche", but somehow the translators missed that.
• In A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow, most chapters are "(Character name) doesn't/isn't/won't (feel or do something)", such as "Konatsu Amano Isn't Sad." Chapter 21, however, is titled, "Konatsu Amano Was Feeling Sad." The final chapter of the series forgoes the theme naming entirely and shares the title of the work.
• Ultraman: The Adventure Begins has the Robot Buddy trio, Ulysses, Samson, and... Andy.
• Most of the Ushiromiyas in Umineko: When They Cry have real Western names (Jessica, George, Maria, Rosa, Rudolph, Krauss, Eva), with an exception: the protagonist, Battler. There's also Kinzo, being the only direct Ushiromiya bloodline family member without a Western style name, and there's also Kyrie. In Japan, Kirie is an actual name but the romanization to 'Kyrie' (apparently, a reference to Ragnarok Online) is considered strange because she is not a blood relative of the Ushiromiya family and therefore has no reason to have a Western looking name.
• Everyone in Violinist of Hameln has a musical instrument for name: Flute, Drum, Guitar, Sizer (synthesizer), Raiel (a type of piano) etc. Everyone except for the main protagonist, Hamel. His mother Pandora is another exception as it refers to her act of releasing a great evil. And you'd think the Big Bad, The Demon King Chestra was another exception (as he's supposedly occupying a chest), until you realize Japanese for "king" is "ou"... making him Ou Chestra, or Orchestra.
• The Takanashi family in Wagnaria!! almost all have "zu" as the middle character of their names - mother Shizuna, and her daughters Kazue, Izumi, Kozue, and Nazuna. The one exception, and the only male in the family to boot, is Souta, the fourth of the five children.
• Yo-kai Watch:
  • Keisuke Amano from Yo-kai Watch: Shadowside is the only protagonist who isn't named after a season. The others are named Natsume (summer), Touma (winter) and Akinori (autumn).
  • In one episode of Yo-kai Watch, Jibanyan meets three nekomata named Sir Pouncalot, Pounce de Leon, and Alfred.
• Yu-Gi-Oh!:
  • Due to Dub Name Change, Osiris's name was changed to Slifer internationally. This makes its name stand out from Ra and Obelisk, whose names are Egyptian-themed. This is narmy, since the three are Egyptian Gods.
  • In the original "Obelisk" would actually be the odd one out, since a.) that's a piece of architecture, not an Egyptian god, and b.) the word itself is from Greek.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Out of the seven protagonists in the franchise, Yuki Judai is the only one whose first name doesn't start with "Yu". His last name Yuki does have a "Yu" but because that's a last name, it doesn't really count. And he's also the only protagonist to have his name changed into an English one, "Jaden", while the others keep their Japanese names.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: In the original Japanese dub, the Code Names of the Arclight brothers are V (Chris), IV (Thomas) and III (Michael). While IV and III are pronounced as English numbers "four" and "three" respectively, V is pronounced as the English letter V. It should be noted that V was the first of the brothers to take a code name, and his younger brothers followed him suit.
• In Yuri is My Job!, the employees of the Liebe Academy salon take on assumed names that generally add a couple syllables to their surname or changing at least one to make it sound like a rich girl's name; for example, Hime Shiraki becomes known as Hime Shirasagi, while Mitsuki Yano becomes Mitsuki Ayanokouji. However, Nene Nishidera has a name that, save for including the same kanji characters, is completely unlike her actual name- Saionji
