Same reason why so many names are Middle of Mountain, Field and River, etc. They lowkey just go outside and name themselves after the first thing they saw.

https://www.myheritage.com/wiki/Japanese_surnames > Surnames are a relatively modern aspect of Japanese culture. Prior to the Meiji Restoration, a political revolution that lasted from 1868 to 1889, surnames were only used by the aristocracy of Japan. Affluent commoners could pay for permission to bear a surname, but this was limited to use in their local communities and were not permitted for official use. > In 1870, the laws of Japan changed to allow commoners to take a surname. Shortly after, in 1873, a new law made it mandatory for all citizens of Japan, regardless of their social or economic status, to have a surname. Because many Japanese didn’t have surnames that were passed down through generations, families either came up with a surname themselves or asked a priest to assign one to them. *NOTE: I just realized that I put two owns , smh.
