Yeah, as much as I enjoy dunking on the guy, Akira Yoshida is a perfectly average Japanese name. It's no Takumi Matsumoto or anything, but you'd probably bump into a couple.

Why does he have any business gloating about this, he was an editor at Marvel in the 00s, probbaly knew about it and did absolutely nothing.

This is definitely amusing but also incredibly hypocritical, given how he handled diversity issues during his tenure as EiC.

I'm also amazed that it's been two days since the BC story broke and there still hasn't been any official statement from Marvel beyond confirming that Yoshida was CB's pseudonym.

He was living in Japan at the time, he likely knows they are common names. If a Japanese writer in America used the pseudonym John Parker you wouldn't instantly assume he was purposefully using the first name of the main character in Die Hard and the last name of Spider-Man.

Lol so he pretended to be straight up a Japanese person from Japan as well? I bet Marvel was overjoyed to have a manga person working for them. What a clownish series of events.

Marvel has a problem with their asian characters in general. I've pointed this out before.

Shang Chi is a kung fu man and the son of Fu Manchu.

Yellow Claw and Mandarin are named Yellow Claw and Mandarin, for starters.

Sunfire has nuclear powers and his name is basically a reference to the imperial japanese flag, as is his outfit.

Jubilee is of Chinese descent and has firework powers.

Armor's mutant power is to channel her honorable ancestors and turn them into mechs.

Agent X is a goddamn yakuza ninja with a code of honor.

The least racist asian characters in Marvel are Nico Minoru and The Cat, although you could make a case the latter is just a different kind of ninja stereotype.

Master of Kung Fu is actually a really good comic. I like Jubilee. I also like all the early solo Woverine stuff, both the Miller series and the Madripoor stuff. I'll go to bat somewhat for those comics.

The problem isn't any of these books or characters individually. It's a systematic thing, tempered by lack of creators. Especially in light of the Yoshida incident
