Why did the old English prints refer to Honda as "INOshiro"?
It was the result of a misreading of his name in Japanese.  Honda's given name in Japanese is written 猪四郎. The first character, 猪, when written in combination with other kanji can be read as either "i" or "ino", the latter of which is a specific reading for names. Someone apparently assumed that such a specified reading applied to Honda's name and that’s why his name is often mis-written as Inoshiro. (Info via Nicholas Driscoll at Toho Kingdom.com)
