<p>As for why the translator seemed to confuse "Yukiyo" with "Yukiko", コ (<em>ko</em>) and ヨ (<em>yo</em>) looks similar, having only 1 stroke difference. In addition of that, Yukiko is a more popular name in Japan than Yukiyo. Note however, her name is never written in kanji, thus there is no official kanji representation of her name.</p>

<p>When they first introduced her, they called her Yukiko Abe, but then the next few chapters that I read were translated by a different translator, and they translated her name to "Yukiyo Abe". However, <a href="http://liarsgame.wikia.com/wiki/Abe_Yukiko" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wikia</a> says that the kanji for her name is 由紀子, which would be read as "Yukiko".</p>

<p>So which is it? Yukiyo or Yukiko?</p>

As for why the translator seemed to confuse "Yukiyo" with "Yukiko", コ (*ko*) and ヨ (*yo*) looks similar, having only 1 stroke difference. In addition of that, Yukiko is a more popular name in Japan than Yukiyo. Note however, her name is never written in kanji, thus there is no official kanji representation of her name.
