The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics was held on the 27th, and singer-songwriter Aya Nakamura (29) appeared. Although the name is reminiscent of Japanese people, in fact it has no connection to Japan. Born in Mali, West Africa, and raised in the suburbs of Paris, he is one of France’s most popular pop stars. The global hit song “Djadja” has been played over 970 million times on YouTube. Her real name is Aya Danioko. “Aya” is said to be a common name in Mali, and when interviewed by the Yomiuri Shimbun in 2019, she said, “I didn’t know it was a common name in Japan either.” “Nakamura” is named after the psychic “Hiro Nakamura” played by Japanese actor Masi Oka in the American TV drama “Heroes,” which Nakamura loved.

More importantly, there was one Asian person among the backing dancers. What country was he from?
He looked Japanese though.

It’s similar to how Japanese musicians would choose a stage name like James.

I don’t think Aya is a name that exists anywhere outside of Japan, although there are names like Naomi and Arisa.

Isn’t this better than a Korean comedian from Yoshimoto calling himself Nadal without considering the inconvenience it causes to tennis fans?

There are people in Japan too who use stage names that sound like they’re from a foreign country they have no connection to. It’s the same thing.

There was a Cameroonian soccer player named Eto’o. Incidentally, the surname Eto is common in Oita Prefecture, so when Cameroon held a training camp in Oita Prefecture during the 2002 World Cup, he was apparently quite popular among the locals.

This name caught my eye because it sounded more like a Ninja Slayer character.
