Toufuu (Tofu)'s family name is 'Ono'... This is from the anime, though
in the manga it probably says his name outside the doctor's place on the

Ono Toufuu and Ono Kin, his mother. Don't know his father's name...

Kun-chan...

        Since we're talking about names...Japanese names at that...I have
some questions.

First:        Why is he called Dr. Tofu rather than Dr. Ono?  I would
               normally refer to my doctor or any of my elders by the
               honorific and then the surname.

Second:   Do Japanese women take on the family names of their
               husbands?
