Itano circus is not an in-universe term, it’s named after an artist Ichiro Itano who is associated with it.

  You don't say: a painting using cubism style is a "Picasso" The author that popularized it doesn't get attribution de-facto for every paintings that uses cubism Slightly rotating your missile propulsion system with an auto-targeting system doesn't make it "Itano" You don't say "Mr Smith's way of braking" because you saw him drift There is something about the weeb culture that's very corrosive about culture in general That's very concerning for this generation of technicians https://llvm.moe/ https://llvm.moe/

    These terms come from Sakuga scene where artist attribution and appreciation are a big part of it. See also "Yutapon Cubes", for example. Also we absolutely do identify art styles after their creators if the style is distinct enough, but doesn't necessarily establish a new branch, e.g. Escher, Warhol, Wes Anderson.

    TIL it’s called eponym[1]. Diesel engines, pasteurized milk, Petri dish, even mentors, … I can tell you it’s much less common in ideographic languages, as the definition can be encoded into spelling by choice of ideographs, if that is what you would appreciate :) 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eponym https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eponym

    Just because you see something in "weeb culture" doesn't mean it's unique to "weeb culture". Naming things after people happens everywhere, even in programming, booleans, bezier curves, Turing machines, etc.
