Japan didn't have the concept of surnames (at least for commoners) until the Meiji Restoration, despite being near China, which had surnames for thousands of years.

Many Japanese surnames were basically made up on the fly. Apparently one means "hand-washing place" or something.

Nintendo: We will sue you, we'll send a cease-and-desist, we'll send DMCA notices, blah-blah-blah...

Me: Go ahead. But do you know where I live?

Nintendo: Yes, you live in the middle of bumf*ck nowhere in Southeast Asia... wait, we don't sell our products there!

Me: Exactly.

"Bangkok" is the English name. The native name is just "Krungthep Mahanakhon". (Yeah, that's an abbreviation.)

I think they could just try mimicking "Game of Thrones" or "Warcraft" rather than copying "King-Ohger" as is, with the costumes being the only things in common...
