Well, there's always a few people who name their kids weird things. Their parents could have been the equivalent of the folks who put "Superfly" down as a middle name. Or Pairadice Dymand.
(Worked in Vital Statistics once, and I kid you not those were on the birth certificate. If you're not going to pick a name in advance? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let the drugs wear ALL the way off before filling out the paperwork!)
Also, who says a Japanese sounding name is their REAL one? They could have picked a nickname that sounds cool. Personally, I tend to consider backgrounds more damaging to RP than names. Because I don't really care if you're named "Bob" if you're claiming to be half-vampire/half-werewolf that sparkles in the sunlight, is a thousand years old, and your brooding gaze demands that I be attracted to you... Being named Bob is the LEAST of the problems with that character.
