Oh, and as a forewarning; 重 is omo, as in heavy, but that's not how it should be read in Troju's name. It should be pronounced as "ju". This is the same circumstance as Minokichi's name. 吉 comes out as "yoshi", but that's just the translation of what the character means (good luck). But when you read it as his name, it should be "kichi". So when translating the names of characters, don't just use the machine translators. Look up an online dictionary.

The reason for this difference is that kanji have "sound readings" (as in how you pronounce it) and "meaning readings", basically the same way people here have been treating the race names. For example, 蟷螂型甲蟲人. I put it in as Mantis Type Shelled Insect Person, however it would be something like Tōrōkeikōchūjin if you read it out loud. The machine in Translation Aggragator, however, wouldn't give you that translation and would instead give you the meaning of each character instead. Hence why there's some confusion over names like Minokichi or Troju.
