So I thought I'd also give another mini-bonus . This time I wanted to show you the inspiration behind Dr. Ueda .
There are two inspirations , actually . First , is Dr. Ueda as a professor of Physics in Japan we get the inspiration from the character Ueda Jiro from one of the best japanese series of all time TRICK .
WHY DON'T YOU DO YOUR BEST is one of his funniest lines . This is actually the cover of his book in the series AND a book that you can actually purchase , I'm told , as a promotional for the series .
the second inspiration is for the name itself . Ueda Tatsuma is a play on Ueda Tatsuya who happens to be another Japanese artist .
Why is Ueda's name important ? Let's take a look
In the present story , we have 3 Japanese names so far .
Akanishi (the family name of Hayato descended from Matsumoto in the past)
Taguchi (a central character in Season II)
Ueda (an antagonist professor/agent)
The hint I'll give is that there will be 3 more Japanese names in relation to the present storyline who will be important or semi-important to the progression of the story . And then will be very important during one of the fun bonuses I have planned as a hint to it . I'm sure you're all intelligent enough to figure it out from those clues XD .
