His real is apparently Kim Ray Long, which sounds really Asian. But I believe the name "Long" is a Scottish name meaning "tall", like "Lang" or "Lange".

As a teacher, he was not "ok" - he was excellent. As a manager of people - a complete disaster. He doesn't have the mentality of a leader. He inspires mutiny. He lacks fairness. Emotionally not developed in the right way to lead others.
