Is Tohsaka truly a genuine Japanese surname? When I try to google it, all that pops out is Rin. Going further, I have to point out that her name is written in kanji so I'm guessing it's an old word.

Shows up in Rikaichan's Name Dictionary, so it must be a real name.
"Distant Hill" "Cold"

is the tsundere? I haven't played it, so idk.

The toh is a funny way of romanizing too. Nasu did the same thing with Tohno in Tsukihime, changing the too from the kanji 遠.

Not really proof of it existing, in rikaichan you already find a lot of internet lingo and other weeaboo shit. Someone could have added it because of fate.

it has multiple spellings and pronunciations of the same name-kanji

If it showed up just as "Tohsaka Rin," then I'd be skeptical.

There's no such thing as genuine surname. I am if some japanese guy wanted to change his surname to it it would be possible.

That very well may be, I don't know history...but the fact remains that when it comes to 'weeaboo' names on Rikaichan, it will give you to them like this:
平野綾
Hirano Aya(1987.10.8-)(h)

it's clearly not your historical one.

>> No.1926718

OP here. This is a bit unrelated, but I'm going to point it out. Do you find Rin very foreign and un-japanese person? I mean, there are a lot of anime characters that are more western than native, but nevertheless every time I see Rin, she reminds me of an English aristocratic lady.

It's actually pretty smart romanization, since in england english "too" would be pronounced "tu."
