Do you know why he has been named ''Nakatomi''?
Sounds like a Japanese last name.

The TDN article said he was named after Nakatomi Plaza from the movie, Die Hard.

Thanks for the info!!!! :D
I have googled those names now.
I have never seen the movie ''Die Hard'' and never been to ''Fox Plaza (Nakatomi Plaza)''.
But that's interesting!

This headline is misleading - it implies Arabian Knight ran 2nd as if these two faced off and the Doctor beat him, and it was a close race between them, when in fact AK faded to 4th and maybe needs a race… and why not start him in an easier race to get him going. Cough, ego.
