Another question for our dev.
That is for me strange. Tomoko addressing Rin very formal, but at the same time adressed Ryker very casual. You usually do that only if you are very good friend. Also Tomoko is using the "san" honorifics for her niece.
So, for this droid that makes no sense at all.
If we dig deeper, I say that Tomoko and Hanako have a close realationship. As an aunt to Hanako Tomoko could use the even less formal honorifics chan for her, at least in privat and Tomoko could use Obasan (aunt) for her.
*Disclaimer* Although this protocol droid does have a pretty tiny little bit of knowledge regarding Japanese this droid is still not well versed and neither has the Japanase language moduls installed in his memory banks.
