Most of the character's last name comes from a car manufacturer. Acura is a
luxury car manufacturer under Honda. Gaz is a Russian car manufacturer. There
are others like this such as Trabant, Lancia, Arbath, Dodge, Calloway, etc.

Has the author given his reason for this naming convention?

Why are the majority of characters named after car manufacturers?


Sakaki Ichiro (aka the author) used a distinctive naming scheme in his other
work _Scrapped Princess_ as well, but there the characters were named after
firearms / guns instead ([its wiki page even has a section about
that](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapped_Princess#Names_and_firearm_references)).

So it may very well just be that he likes to have his character names be a
reference to something. :)
