Tōichi

In the book the film was based on, written by Joan G. Robinson, it's explained he was the eleventh child in his family. His mother considered him "one-too-many", so he was given the name "Wuntermenny". This wordplay was adapted in the Japanese translations of the book, where "jū ichi" ("eleven") became "Tōichi".
