    Interestingly enough, I challenge you to find a Japanese person named "Yakamoto" anywhere in the world. Apparently to avoid offending anybody, they used a bullshit name (the closest thing is "Yamamoto"). Or, they know nothing about Japanese culture. (Oh, and there 'aint no Japanese name Sulu (as in, Hikaru Sulu), nor is there any girl with the first name of "Hoshi" (as in Hoshi Sato). Fuckin' asiaphiles outta get shit right if they are gonna use it at all. :p
