Trivia
- The world may be named after Yoichiro Nambu, 1/2 recipient of the Nobel Physics Prize 2008. He was awarded for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics.
- In keeping with the prevailing system nomenclature, Sumiko appears to be named after physicist Hideki Yukawa's wife[1].
