Dear Lee,

         I think they do, or actually their ancestors did. I have not read
anything about any of them before, so the following is all my guessing from
my knowledge and experience as a Japanese.
         I am rather confident about three of them.  Kogawa shold be $BJ4-AT-n(B,
Okada $B2,ED(B and  Sone $BA>:,(B.$B!!(BAbout Okimoto, it should be $B2-K\(B, although there
are common mistakes by Englsih speakers in pronouncing -a/-e as -i,  just
like _Sake_. Correctly it is pronounced as [sa-ke], but I often hear it as
[sa-ki]. Then if it is mistaken as I suspect, it should be $B2,K\(B.
         Hope this will help.
