VLVL2 (9.5): "Babies of Wackiness"

[Dave Monroe]

   "Takeshi grew instantly paranoid, assuming, for
some reason, that the young man was talking about his
ex-wife, the film actress Michiko Yomama, currently
starring as a light-comical obtsetrician in the
television series 'Babies of Wackiness,' a Japanese
import currently and inexplicably blowing away all its
U.S. ratings competetion." (VL, Ch. 9, p. 159)


p. 159 "Michiko Yomama"    A nasty pun, based on the
black insult, "Yo' mama!" Let your guard down for a
second, and the guy slips in one of these every time.

After Empress Michiko married to Emperor Akihito in
1959, many newborn baby girls were named Michiko....

[...]

In the past, it was very common and traditional to use
the kanji character "ko (a child)" at the end of
female names. Empress Michiko, Crown princess Masako,
princess Kiko, and Yoko Ono, all end with "ko"....
