The Japanese players have been given the option of using nicknames. This is for several valid reasons that have been discussed in other threads at various times. We still prefer that they use their real names, but the choice is theirs. I apologize for creating a double-standard, but one positive note is that at least you can recognize and pronounce "JET-V", while Japanese symbols for names would cause much confusion to those who don't know the language.

Or also for those of us that have studied the language, but haven't had much chance to use it over the years.

If you can get them to use their real names, that would be fantastic! But I'm not going to force them to, because I gave them the option, and a promise is a promise.
