LOL, I knew that guy. Just in Japan, I did not know the real meaning of his name.

and i heard its also one of popular ones for zainichi-korean to use as their J-name, especially in kansai area.
Just come out of the closet as a Chosen-jin already.
Since 長 in Hasegawa looks similar to and is pronounced the same as the Chinese character for the common Korean family name Jeong (張), it wouldn't surprise me. Also, though it's not so common, Janggok (長谷) is also a Korean family name according to Wikipedia.

The Chinese are right since a 豚 and an 猪 are the same species.

Not funny in any language.
