^ It definitely is educational to watch, that's for sure. o_o I had no idea about the rules surrounding names in Japan, and now Ishida is throwing us for a loop with this one.

From what I've seen discussed elsewhere, Maykun @ tumblr mentioned that "Furuta" is likely from his mother's family. Hyphenating his name seems to be the most commonly-suggested thing I'm seeing, based on the best guess that both parents' surnames are being represented here.

(Which means, basically, he was forced to drop the "Washuu" from his actual name and then invented "Nimura" as a fake name based on his birth date. Which.....makes him giving his REAL name to the Clowns interesting.)
