Quote:I might be way off-base on this, but the impression I got is that it's only the readers/viewers who don't know his real name -- anyone in the story who cares to check the school records -- or who listened when he introduced himself at the start of classes -- knows it. They all just stopped using it after they picked up on the nickname his imoto-chan uses -- and he doesn't quite have enough willpower to demand that they use his proper name. Like poor "Osaka" in Azumanga Daioh, who hated being called that, but Tomo hung it on her, everyone else agreed (WHY?!), and she gave up fighting it.
Also no-one seems to know Kyon's real name, wich is something he occasionaly gripes about but he doesn't reveal his name.
