In an article I read on the web, she is dubbed anime industry's version of
Riah Dizon. Riah used to be dubbed Black Ship of Japan's show business.
And Catherine is dubbed Blackship, too in the article.
Black ship, in case you don't know about it, is a ship Commodore Perrie from
America was onboard, requesting Japan to open its market and promote
trades with foreign countires after more than 300 years of closed foreign
trade policy. Precisely, in Nagasaki prefecture, Japan was open to foreign
trade with Netherland and maybe Portugal, too. I forgot pretty much what I learned
in Japanese history class, so I'm not 100% sure about the trade with Netherland and Portugal part.
