Gah... no. That's my name. It's derived from Latin. Nothing against Japanese people or the country's history, but a large portion of my friends are anime-obsessed while I don't see the appeal, and I've gotten sick of hearing everything constantly be "Japan-this" and "Japan-that."

I know it's a joke. But it still makes me want to bang my head up against a wall.
