Subject: Re: Mr. Tojimura From: leo@theory.lcs.mit.edu (John Leo) Date: 1990-10-30, 22:54 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Fumio Yamaguchi is a legitimate Japanese name. Furthermore Fumio is solely a male name. However I have not heard of an actor by this name, nor has a Japanese friend of mine. If he is a real person he is not very famous, but of course there is no need for a famous actor to play this role. On the other hand Tojimura, or Tajimura, or Tajemura or whatever...is not a legitimate Japanese name (as far as we know; it is also not in P.G. O'Neill's dictionary of names). But as this is a name for a fictional character in the show it does not necessarily mean anything. It's a quiet little life with no problems between | John Leo the stove that smokes and the ever-open window that | leo@theory.lcs.mit.edu looks out on a landscape becomming daily less | coherent...But what am I saying? And to whom?... All questions not worth asking from now on. (Alain Robbe-Grillet)
