@hitoqui_ponko (December 17, 2024). "あれは「図鑑」のコラムを書くときにオーキド博士のフルネームが必要だと思って、ぼくが勝手に人類学者の香原志勢（こうはらゆきなり）さんからいただいて付けました。その後、ユキナリは公式にも採用されたようですが、由来はあくまでもぼくの内心の事情です。" [When I was writing the Pokédex column, I felt that I needed Professor Oak's full name, so I borrowed it from the anthropologist Yukinari Kohara and gave it to him. It seems that Yukinari was later officially adopted, but the origin of the name is purely my own personal opinion.] (Tweet) (in Japanese). Retrieved January 17, 2026 – via X (formerly Twitter).
