In Japan, game companies forbade programmers from putting their real names in their games. It was an anti-poaching move, the studios didn't want their programmers hired out from under them. So the game programmers put aliases in instead. Hence why you see such strange names in games like Yu2, Nakazoo, Faw, S.Miyahon (who is actually Shigeru Miyamoto), etc.
