Really not sure what you're on about bro?

Do you mean his name being the same as Midoriya Izuku from My Hero Academia? In that case it definitely is a coincidence as Morenatsu is far older than MHA; goes way back to 2010.

Or did you mean his name matching his character well? Of course it does, Japanese writers love to pick kanji that apply to their characters (like how Western writers like to look up meanings of names to apply to their characters).

I think it's probably because Midoriya is a Japanese surname meaning "green valley". Both characters have green as a prominent color in their design. If you really wanted to read further into it, you could say that "valley" is appropriate for Izuku because it indicates depth, and his potential was far greater than what it appeared on the surface. Also, Midoriya is a fairly old surname in Japan, which makes it appropriate for Tatsuki, since his family runs a generational business. And now I feel like a weeb.

Yup.

For anybody else reading this, Midoriya Tatsuki (翠屋 辰樹) is a different spelling of the Midoriya surname compared to Izuku's (緑谷 出久).

Tatsuki's name means: (Midori- green), (ya- shop, house) (Tatsu- Chinese zodiac dragon) (ki- wood, tree). Clearly purposely picked to fit his character.
