Alias the hero names from the boku no hero academia students to their real names

BUR #6417 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

Second topic, because the other one is already filled up with several BURs. This one is quite easier, because there are no qualifiers for the already existing tags, as their names are already full_names. It's more of a utility alias for them and to make them more searchable. I left out the obvious stupid ones like "Can't stop twinkling" and the one from Bakugou. Why prefer the real names? Those are the ones that get used most of the time in the manga and anime. The students always call the others by their real name. Only Midoriya gets called Deku very often, but I don't think it's necessary to have a seperate tag for him.

This is Class 1A

I added "shoto" to the BUR, because it's really his hero name. It's no joke addition and iirc he gets called "Shoto" often, especially by Endeavor.

BUR #6418 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

Class 1b

BUR #6419 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias lemillion_(boku_no_hero_academia) -> togata_mirio
create alias suneater_(boku_no_hero_academia) -> amajiki_tamaki
create alias nejire_chan_(boku_no_hero_academia) -> hadou_nejire

The Top 3.

Removed Iida Tenya from the first list, because he shares the "Ingenium" Hero name with his brother.

Might be worth dropping Cellophane or amending it to cellophane_(boku_no_hero_academia) since that's very much a real thing.

Also, update your 1b list with Kendou itsuka - unless we're also changing that one.

Thank you for noticing.

That's just his personal name used as his "super" identity. Like how Elektra Natchios uses "Elektra". Shouto just uses his name but spells it in katakana as ショート (this style of nomenclature also happens in other series when people use their personal name or surname as a codename/nickname, using katakana to obscure the actual kanji. Or when other characters aren't sure how the name is written so they just transcribe how it sounds). It is strange that his name reflects the long vowel while his alias doesn't, despite the latter also having the exact same long vowel.

Don't really think its necessary too.

...And come to think of it (suddenly remembered topic #18872)... don't think most of the aliases are really necessary either. If it's some side character with like less than 20 tagged examples (e.g. the Class 1B chars), neither the alias(es) nor the main tag is going to be used or searched for often, making them mostly superfluous. Not worth clogging up autocomplete with a lot of Hero Academy chars.

It is true that many of the "superhero identity aliases" are likely more memorable for English users, and also help raise visibility... but the same can also be said for a lot of other titles and aliases and alternative localization names for characters in other copyrights (and plain first names + copyright qualifiers, which Shouto/Shoto is kinda like here). So, generally, I think we should be conservative with such aliases and only consider them for the ones that are likely going to be more often used (and/or have a lot of missed searches). Or for characters who are almost exclusively known under an an alias/title and are almost never referred to with their actual names (though perhaps some of these don't need their full name as a chartag either).

Also just noticed a really bad alias in the first BUR. earphone_jack -> jirou_kyouka. That's just begging to be mis-tagged when someone sees an actual earphone jack.

Edit: Huh, odd, thought I saw it without the qualifier.

I updated Earphone Jack, Vantablack, Shouto and Jack Mantis.
And yes, I know that he's using his personal name as his hero name (keeping in mind, that I normaly used the fandom to search for the names and keep forgetting, that we use other forms on danbooru). It's not really doing any harm, even if it could lead to 3 characters named "shoutoku" and "shoutora" being pushed down in the autocomplete list. But with only 26 and 1 image uploaded anyway, I don't see a problem with it being pushed down, as I don't think they are searched that often.
The reason why I made 3 different BURs is, so that we can think about if all of them are needed, especially the more unkown class 1b. I really have no problem with them existing, but I have no problem with scraping the ones that are so small tags too.

They're all pretty small tags, so I see no harm in doing utility aliases.

Consider that

• they'll only show up if there's no other result, given their size
• they'll be autoremoved two years after their tag's last upload

For shouto, the biggest tag under "shout" is shouting, which is 5 times the size of this character tag.

In any case, if one turns out to be problematic it can always be removed afterwards.
