I know a bit of Japanese and it didn't strike me at all. Is it just the "baka"? :-)

- dpcan 7y agoWo = The Baka = Fool Src: Typed "wo in Japanese" and "baka in Japanese" into Google.
- grzm 7y agoNames can, of course, be whatever they want, so there's nothing to say whether or not the name is "right" or "wrong". From a language perspective, を is most commonly transliterated wo when used in isolation. When used as a particle, it's generally transliterated as o. It also follows the noun rather than proceeds it. So if the intent of wobaka is to mean something like idiot (as the object of a sentence) a number of liberties have been taken. There's an honorific o お that does precede a noun, which I've never seen transliterated wo.
