The origin of his name 'Kyozo' (literally meaning devil's advocate) came from Chapter 13 Shiro, Volume 17 of Rongo; Confucius says, 'if you cannot be a friend of a man of common sense with no shortcoming, then make friends with either a devil's advocate or a moral zealot, because devil's advocates often study hard and moral zealots are very unlikely to be tempted by a desire.'
「狂三」の名前の由来は、論語・巻第七子路第十三の「不得中行而与之、必也狂狷乎、狂者進取、狷者有所不為也（中行を得てこれに与せずんば、必ずや狂狷か、狂者は進みて取り、狷者は為さざる所あり）」から
