Why would a name be offensive? It's not.
I suppose if you call all Japanese people "Tojo", it would be offensive (and strange), but the name itself does not offend Japanese people.

They've got the Tobu Tojo line in Tokyo so no it's not racist. Why would someone use the word anyway in a racist context?

Tojo is just a surname or corporate name, like Ford.

No.
Hi, Janes M.
Acceding to Chinese Communist, Japanese do.
However there are so many doubts WHO does.
I guess it’s propaganda how Japanese were EVIL.

No, that would have been very awkward for the Japanese if the name of their prime minister from 1941 to 1944 was offensive.

No. Not at all. First off, we are not as sensitive to racist things as you are. We just don't care. Some governors who regularly spit out racial slurs would have been sentenced to death a hundred times by Al Sharpton if he were in the US. But here nobody cares as much.

No. Tojo was the typical Japanese military mind in WW2. They bayoneted babies in Nanking for fun. We let them off way too easy.
