I knew the name had to be Japanese. :)
I knew a Japanese background guy from Hawaii who's family name ended in ...shito and he got kidded over it.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
-- Isaac Asimov
