Talk:Itokutora

Ikura's name
"Itokutora" is not a slip of the tongue by Akagi. According to the actress' Twitter account, her name is written "Itokutora" but pronounced "Ikura":

いとくとら」と書いて「いくら」と読みます.

The "to" is silent, ("to" means "and"). It's like writing "I+ku+ra" (I've also seen it transliterated "I-ku-ra".) I suspect this is because "ikura" is a common word in Japanese.

For both the actress and the character, the name is pronounced and spelt the same way. She's credited from episode 5 as "Itokutora". It's always pronounced "Ikura", though.
