The character is frequently refered to as "Wham" to sound exactly like his namesake, however, this is a hypercorrection - while syllables ending with "u" sound are indeed used to substitute for single consonants in Japanese due to its phonetic structure, the name "Wamuu" has an additional "u" at the end (ใƒฏใƒ ใ‚ฆ), creating a long u sound at the end, and is not identical to the Japanese katakana transcription of its namesake band (ใƒฏใƒ ).

I know that the names are based off of bands and musicians but aren't their names actually Wamuu and Esidisi?
