Weekly Shonen Jump Editorial Staff announced on their website that a name of a controversial character will be changed.
The controversy happened when creator Horikoshi Kohei announced the name of All For One’s doctor. The doctor known as Ujiko’s real name was revealed to be Maruta Shiga, a quirkless doctor.
Unfortunately, the spelling of the name refers to victims of human experimentation during World War II, acts done to Korean, Chinese and foreign detainees.
Many took to social media to ask about the name in which it quickly prompted the name change by Jump Editorial and Horikoshi Kohei.
