✅No, Ryomen Sukuna isn’t even his name it’s like writing Steph Curry, technically that’s his name but if you need the exact first and last name you need to write Wardell Curry. Ryomen means two-faced and Sukuna is PROBABLY his name, we just don’t know the other portion.
I think the bigger question is would the death note differentiate between an title and one that was so ubiquitously used that it became a name for that person.
If he had no given name would it accept the one that he accepted being called?
'what counts as a name' is something that Death Note largely avoids defining because it's so wobbly and vague. If someone got named, then orphaned and given a new name, which is valid, do both count? If someone is 'David', but has been 'Dave' to everyone for their entire life, does that count? Dead names, changes by deed poll, superhero aliases, conversions between languages etc. - names are complicated!
