The name Doria has italian origins, like most of the art in Japan, Japanese people love Italy. The name Doria comes from a famous Italian Navy General Andrea Doria. Doria outfitted eight galleys and patrolled the Mediterranean, fighting the Ottoman Turks and the Barbary pirates, augmenting both his reputation and his fortune. He scored a brilliant victory over the Turks at Pianosa in 1519.
This was the link with the Shimps... Sea... Mr. Doria.
