The girl with the umbrella is named 雀明華 and given the official katakana reading チェーミョンファ. It seems like a non-Japanese Asian name even though she's apparently from France. Does anyone know how to best romanize it (if it is Chinese? or Korean? Not familiar enough...)
In Mandarin, the pinyin for the characters would be "Que Minghua", but the Japanese reading doesn't mirror that exactly. Maybe it's Cantonese? Her team does have a girl from Hong Kong IIRC. Also, her being French, but with that name... I don't get it.
The girl from Hong Kong is 郝慧宇 in kanji and ハオホェイユー in katakana. I used Mandarin pinyin since it seemed to match with the pronunciation of the katakana.
