In that case you wouldn't be interested in my 'Boys Named Tsu', either. They were a takeoff on the 'Killer B's of a decade ago. I started an Oriental universe with the 2006 version of the game, and it's progressing slowly. By accident I found five players whose last names began with 'Tsu' on my roster, and since then I've gone out of my way to collect them. At the present time they number eight (note that all of them are in their mid-30s except Tsukamoto, who is 38, and Tsutsui, who is 23):
Keishi Tsukamoto, LF — he's my oldest position player, and also the fastest player on my team (which is the Fighters of Nippon Ham). He's still servicable, but can't have more than one or two seasons left in his tank. A good fielder and bunter, but no arm.
Murenori Tsukamodo, 3B — adequate starter, outstanding in no respects.
Ichizo Tsuchie, SS — very good hitter, good fielder
Hirobumi Tsutsui, 1B — Man so nice, they had to name him twice. An all star, good fielder, and practically the only guy on my team with respectable pop.
Shihel Tsukada, SP — None of my starters are very good (I have superb relief pitching), but most would make good third or fourth starters on most teams. None of them have good Stuff, but all keep in ball in the park and have fair to good control.
Masao Tsukawaki, SP — No exception to the rule, he's the middle of the 'brothers Tsukawaki'.
Nobuo Tsukawaki, SP — He's the exception. The youngest of the 'brothers Tsukawaki' at 33, he's my number four, but he'd be in AAA on most teams.
Suezo Tsukawaki, MR — Good, but unlucky, and not particularly good by comparison to the rest of the relief staff (he's my number four MR — 64 on the 20-80 scale). The eldest of the 'brothers Tsukawaki', he's 35.
You couldn't use these guys, but maybe they'll give you an idea.
EDIT: Great card! Did you find one somewhere, or did you make it up?
