From Tokyo Sports:
>When asked about her name change, SKY said, "I think the image of the previous "Shirai" can be conveyed in kanji to Japanese people, but that is not the case in the United States. I think it is a good name because the "sky" in it conveys the image. The first letter of "Io" was capitalized and the second letter was lower-case "Io. So it looked like a lowercase L and O (lo), or like a number, and some people misread it. Now it's all capitalized "IYO," which I think makes it easier to understand."
Explain yourself, E-drones.
