While the design of the figurines is impressive enough, I suppose, the re-naming of the characters left me far from amused. It struck me as a classic mish-mash of “oriental sounding” names without very much consideration of the appropriateness of the names adopted or whether or not they were indeed Japanese, if the creator meant for it to truly be *Japanese*
