    True. I guess I was just wondering why "Tanaka" and not "Matsuyama" or "Miyamoto" or "Honda" or something. But you did say that the one comedian from those Japanese TV shows was inspiration, so I'll take that as my answer.

    I'd personally go with Vietnamese (well, if I could speak it, that is XD); more people are likely to know Spanish, so the less widespread a language is in your area, the better :D

    Do it! It's a lot of fun - especially gauging the reaction of the person on the other side!

    You're forgetting how common of a name Tanaka is.

    This isn't the first time you've used the name Tanaka, though :) What about the other telemarketer?

    Out of curiosity: why do you use "Tanaka" as your alias?
