They may not all share the same meaning, but the spellings of these Igbo and anglicized Japanese words are too similar to be entirely coincidental.

Adachi- Japanese name
Adachi- Igbo name

Adachi-ku- Japanese city
Adachukwu- Igbo name

Obuchi- Japanese surname
Obuchi- Igbo surname

Madoka- Japanese name
Maduka- Igbo name
