And a lulu is an astounding person or thing.

One term derived from a name comes from Japan's sports world. Dozaemon is a synonym for the victim of a drowning.

Although most Japanese today don't know the origin of this term, they use it more frequently than the legal term dekishisha (deki is drowned, shi is death, and sha is person). There are, incidentally, four ways of talking about drowning in Japanese: dozaemon ni naru, oboreru, dekishi suru, and suishi suru.
