Ok, I looked at this...and...well...

I don't think Shiunnosuke is actually the same kobold as the Kobold Leader.

It doesn't mention that this is actually the Kobold Leader, just that he's "Shiba Inu"...and afaik the Kobold Leader is still referred to as that.

Looking at Day 81, Rou actually mentions that the leader was given a True Name by the world, 【秋風之辻[アキカゼノツジ]】 which is actually アキカゼノツジ, or Akikaze no Tsuji.

It looks like White and company were thrown off by the "Mana" kanji, which is what's translated as "True Name". It's exactly the same kanji that's used when Rou's given his true name, as well. This threw off the entire translation of this section. I'm guessing this is a result of everything at this time being done based solely on GT.

Basically...Rou mentions in Day 81 after the Kobold Leader ranks up to a Samurai (they don't go from warrior to samurai or vice versa, just from footman to samurai) and he gets that true name. However, he also mentions that if people know your true name it's easy for them to screw with you, so it's best to keep it hidden...which is when he gives the Kobold Leader another name: Akitaken (Akita Ken, etc...it's similar to Shibainu/Shiba Inu). It's highly possible that he could just be referring to the dude as Akita with regards to that name, too - but...that's hard to say with just this text. ^^

To sum it up...half of the information in his actual character page appears to most likely be  wrong  based on the small bit of research I just did.

That's why it seems like he ranked up twice, because it was a DIFFERENT kobold that ranked up on 119. Not him. The pages need fixing, but I'm not going to do that myself until I get around to actually checking the translations closer. ^^
