Fujita / Binbachi

[Jonathan M. Hall]

Well, not quite the simple on-yomi, but a combination of the on-yomi  
of toshi and a kun-yomi.

Jaspar,

I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume Binpachi is  
just the on-yomi (Chinese reading) of the kanji for Toshiya.  I've  
heard Fujita referred to by fans of his films as Binpachi, and you  
can see it in print as well quite frequently.  I don't know if it had  
any currency, though, as a mode of address.
