Seishun Buta Yarou character naming *slight spoilers for second TV season*

BUR #48523 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias kirishima_touko -> iwamizawa_nene

This was irking me a bit for a while, but I figure it's a good time to update now that the anime season is over. Nene is the character's actual name. It is not revealed initially, so it may be disputed for spoiler reasons, but tagging her as Touko is problematic for a number of reasons (enough that it might be better to throw out the alias after aliasing, or make it a mass update). In story, Touko is an anonymous internet singer whom Nene initially claims to be, but (some post-S2-anime spoilers ahead) there are other claimants to the identity of the internet singer, and there is a real Touko Kirishima mentioned in the the second to last novel of the series. She is not depicted in illustration AFAIK, but with the anime movie adaptation ahead, she likely could be depicted there, and so very hypothetically the real Touko could eventually have art here. For what it's worth, Nene was mostly officially called "Miniskirt Santa" and not Touko at first, in places like the official website and in the ending credits. She is officially credited as "Iwamizawa Nene" in the ending credits by her arc, and is routinely referred to as such now in official social media posts too. So IMO, it feels out there enough that it shouldn't be too much issue just tagging by her name.

Also, judging by Pixiv results on Kirishima Touko, the name is already ambiguous. There's apparently a character with the same kanji name from an indie horror game.

Is said horror game represented on Danbooru? If not, then I would assume same rules apply as with Hoshino Ai (topic #28579). If yes, then the (aobuta) qualifier for the character here would make it unambiguous.
