I once had to fire a recently drafted pitcher because I found that having two pitchers both named Minoru Gotou in my minors system was just too confusing.

This guy's name is not so much funny, at least not in and of itself, as it is an awkward combination of first and surnames from different groups.

None of my courses in US or Japanese history covered that particular point, oddly enough.

Then again, his Movement suggests a deceptive side that could explain some of that, if you have a conspiratorial bent and don't mind mixing metaphors.
