Regarding her name, Ritsuko told Wahei that she was thinking of changing it from the kanji "Ritsuko" to the hiragana "Ritsuko." Ritsuko reflected that ever since her parents told her that the origin of her name was that they wanted her to be someone who disciplines herself, she has lived her life feeling bound by her name.
However, Wahei asserted, "I don't think that's right." According to Wahei, Ritsuko's father, Ichijo, is a big fan of the beautiful professional bowler "Nakayama Ritsuko," and said, "The way she looks after she throws the ball is the best. She's so sculpted. I love her. So I named my daughter Ritsuko."
After learning the true origin of her name, Ritsuko laughed and called him "that perverted old man." Then, Ritsuko pretended to play bowling, and charmingly said to Wahei, "Kyu!", emphasizing her buttocks.
On social media, she garnered attention with comments such as, "But Ritsuko was so cute!", "Ritsuko's "Kyu!" was so cute", "Ritsuko adding her own sound effects is too cute lol", "The origin of Ritsuko! lol It's the best! It's so Showa", "Ritsuko is such a cute person", and "Kyu! Ritsuko is both cute and strong. The charming Ishida Hikari."
