Light Yagami

It's not just a japan thing.
Comics do it a lot. Especially DC.
Edward Nygma, Harley Quinn, Victor Fries, Roy G. Bivolo, Julian Gregory Day, Scott Free, ...

But Marvel has a whole bunch too:
Mar-Vell, Telford Porter, Cassandra Nova, Klara Prast, Jack Russell...

Ah, you're right. I didn't grow up reading DC or Marvel, so I was under the impression that Western comics didn't do that as much. Another one I don't like is characters having names for each one of their attacks and screaming it out loud. As much as I love shonen mangas, it always felt super weird. I'd be very interested in knowing when/why these tropes became popular.
