As a member of a branch family, Furuta is not supposed to carry the Washuu name. His birth name is most likely Nimura - with the Zero Squad kids names coming out, we can infer that there are a number of differently named branch families the Washuus have kept hidden (Ihei, Souzu, and apparently several Arima families, as one of the kids is named Arima but isn't related to the Arima). Souta Washuu-Furuta is the name he's using to assert his claim to CCG leadership, and with the main family seemingly wiped out, he has no opposition to his use of it, effectively replacing the main bloodline with the Nimura family.
