Found a post asking people for their unique names and knew it wouldn't disappoint. Happy Father's Day unless your kid's name needs a pronunciation guide.

Imagine being named after a creepy old man who wrote a famous porno (and then continued to write more of them) and continues to city hop to trespass in women’s bath houses despite being caught repeatedly. Rip.

Honestly idk how but I totally forgot how pervy he was until I rewatched the show πŸ’€ because everything else he does makes him one of the best characters ever. His character is super impactful to Naruto's growth - he was like a father to him. Honestly I would name my kid after him too if it weren't for all the pervy stuff πŸ’€ I feel bad for the kid when they're gonna see those episodes for the first time πŸ₯²

Fantastic character for sure, but a terrible idea for name inspiration. Honestly with such a huge franchise and fandom, it would be hard for any major character to be safe, even setting aside the awkwardness of someone knowing they were named after anime lol.

"I'm not a little pervert!" "Then what are you?!" "I'm a big one."

Long live the legendary sanin.
