Theory of the name "Bisho Toshihiko" in Perman

This is a follow-up to an earlier blogpost, "Bisho Toshihiko - a character in Perman and a question in Ask John".

Yesterday, after reading @cherry_drops123 tweet about Bisho's name that it is an uncommon name in Japan, I later realised that his name matches how he looks like in person.

His surname, Bisho ( 美庄), represents the first two characters of "Bishonen" ( 美庄年), a Japanese word for a beautiful-looking man, distinguishing from "Bishojo", another word which means beautiful-looking woman.

His first name is Toshihiko (年彦). The first character of his name is taken from the last character of the latter, but the pronouciation is changed from "(bisho)nen" to "toshi'. Toshi is another word for year in Japanese, the first was "nen". The last character of his name his "hiko", the suffix for boys' names. Reminds me of Yuzuhiko, a character in Atashinchi.
