Nihonbashi Yoko s name was hastily thought up during college when she needed a pen name to submit her en y under for the Kodansha s Chiba Tetsuya Awards. While she was riding the Osaka subway line, she found herself at the Nipponbashi station and though, Ah well, this is good enough. Rather than the reading of Nipponbashi she just changed it to Nihonbashi and for the first name she just wrote a variation of her original name Yoko .
