Believe it or not, but I looove characters whose names are jokes, puns, and/or silly references to random stuff! I have some of them myself and I would love to see yours too! ā„ So feel free to post them here (or list them if you have many), and explaining the joke or references if you think it's needed :D

Tosuta = toasterĀ
Ashikubi = anklesĀ
And his villain/gang leader name, Kankokune
Kankokune = cruelĀ
