I've never heard it in the anime, nor read it in the manga, but the man's got to have a first name, right? Did I just miss it, or is it not mentioned anywhere? Help me, people! What is Sakano-san's first name????
...or at least, I think I have. Right at the beginning of episode 1, even! The journalist interviewing ASK, Kaoruko-san? She asks about the opening act, ("Badu Laku?") who they are and if they're any good.
Seguchi-san replies that they're managed by Sakano-san - at least that's what the subtitles say. But in audio, what Seguchi-san says is "Fujino Sakano...etc."
Could Fujino be his first name?
EDIT (almost a year later XD) Thought about this again today. No way "Fujino" could be his first name, because in Japan, surnames always go before first names. SO. Could "Sakano" actually be his first name?!
You said this was in episode 1? I've seen episode 1 (english dubs - no subtitles) about 4 times, but I don't remember hearing Tohma-san say that. Maybe I missed it??? (btw, I've always been curious about what Sakano-san's first name is, but I never thought to ask ^^)
