Did Konami get Juan name from a Filipino Folklore?

Post by Juan »

There is this Filipino Folklore that the title is "Juan Tamad" which you translate to english it's Lazy Juan. The character name is Juan and he is known for his laziness because he waits the guava to fall off the tree rather than get it he just wait under the tree. When I played S3 and saw Juan and his characteristics it reminds me of this folklore. So did Konami base Juan character from this folklore or it's just coincidence?
