akihabara   10 #53 Posted March 27, 2005 I've just remembered the Akuma-chan incident which drew national attention about 10 years ago. A young couple tried to name their son Akuma. The city didn't accept the application because akuma (=devil) is not appropriate for name. In the end, they chose another name.
