Why this name?
Otoko was chosen after thumbing through a Japanese text book (Had no insperation for a name y'see). At the time we believed Otoko meant gentlemen although it was pointed out later that it simply meant 'Man'. Still the name looked 'cool' so we kept it.
Previous names included... Moneymusic, Lost October, SYM (Swindon Young Musicians), Shadowfax and Rearviews.
