Ko-Qui

-The only human culture Laios takes an interest in is the eastern archipelago

-Laios deliberately named his sword Kensuke, a Japanese name, despite the fact that everyone else in the region and his family all have European sounding names

Genuinely, having read the story and being familiar with the translation conventions, I think that that was an intentional choice. Characters in the story choose names deliberately. If Ryoko Kui had wanted Kensuke to be "Swordbert" she would have named it "Swordbert". One of his childhood dogs was named "Dustrag", not "Zōkin". Ryoko Kui names things very deliberately, and in retrospect I think the translators made the right choice, and that if she had wanted Kensuke to be "Swordbert" she would've spoken up when they were making the anime.
