Mass-a Tidbits #4 - Pseudonyms

Yamamoto-sensei has seemingly made pseudonyms for the past couple of years, all of which had been retired to rightfully choose his real name. These are:

Miho Touda - Miho is a particularly female name, but using this name as a male is very peculiar; I doubt Miho is named after his daughter. This was used when he wrote Tadashii Seishun for Kyuukyoku Choujin R, Harukaze ABC for One Two Jump! and Aishuu Madonna.

INDEPENDENCE - A one-off alias used for Nekketsu Fighters no Uta, a fight song for the Hokkaido Ham Fighters.

Kururo Fujiwara - I thought it could be an alias of Ikuro Fujiwara, but when the Rekishi Series compilation album was released, the songs with Kururo as the arranger are instead credited to Yamamoto, so it's speculative that it could be another pseudonym of Yamamoto-sensei's, and it's used solely for songs under the Rekishi Series, which was sadly done in only two albums.

Pseudonyms can confuse some people as they might think it could be a different person, hence I am relieved he stopped using them once and for all.
