Warren Cromartie, a former Montreal Expos outfielder and legend in Japanese baseball circles because of his successful stint with the Yomiuri Giants, has filed an injunction to prevent screening of a film he says slurs his name. Cromartie filed the injunction with the Tokyo District Court, asking it to order distributor Media Suits to halt screening of the movie Sakigake! Kuromati Koko The Movie (Pioneer! Cromartie High School, The Movie). Kuromati is the Japanese pronunciation of Cromartie's name.

So the manga happens and he does nothing. The anime happens and he does nothing. The movie happens and now he's trying to take them to court? Warren, what took so long?

Yeah. It does seem a bit odd, even suspicious, that he would object to the movie now, even though the manga and the anime have been out for a while.
Also, the movie doesn't really have anything to do with baseball, and he's not the only person in the world with the last name Cromartie (though he might be the only famous person in Japan with the name). |

In this case the name Cromartie does refer to him. Emerje |
