1)  I need a Japanese male name that would translate roughly as "Noman" 
or "nobody".

2)  Any info on big lotteries in Japan.  Are they legal?  Is there one 
run by the government?  How old do you have to be to win? 

3) Is there anything in the manga about Nodoka's family background?  I 
recall an anime episode (before she actually showed up) that suggested 
her family was less than happy about her marriage (I think it was 
supposed to be an elopement...)

SKJAM!
