<p>In the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Code_Geass_characters#Jiang_Lihua_(Tianzi)" rel="noreferrer">Wikipedia</a> and <a href="http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Empress_Tianzi" rel="noreferrer">Wikia</a> for Empress Tianzi, it states that her real name is <strong>Jiang Lihua</strong>.</p>

<p>Where does this information come from? It is never stated as such in <em>R2</em> so, what side information conveys this?</p>
