First of all, fuck Larry Ellison.

BUT: Apparently he's a giant weeb and all his yachts are named after Japanese stuff. Izanami is a god from Japanese mythology. There is reasonable doubt here.

I was like "izanami sounds like some naruto shit" imo you can simply add a second word and ruin the backwards spelling.

I mean, not just a god in that mythology but one of the most important ones since she created a lot of other gods. If he's got another boat named Izanagi, I am pretty sure it's just a very, very funny coincidence. Almost like the universe is trying to tell him something about his bullshit Zionist ways.

I cant find it now but there was this great photo of a dude dressed up in full SS attire surrounded by a ton of anime posters and figures lol.

Also I'd suggest him a name from an IJN ship that met an untimely end. Plenty of options.
