Ichigo isn't "weaboo," it's just wrong.

Ichigo means Strawberry. Ichi-Gou means "Number 1."
Nigo is nothing. It's not word. Ni-Gou means "Number 2."

Gou doesn't even literally mean "number." It's a contextual word for numerical value, so in Dragonball Z we have "Juuhachi-gou" Which is almost always translated as "Android 18." Here we have a character who was SIMPLY known as Kamen Rider, until the series progressed and they eventually started referring to him as the first Kamen Rider. So you can go with Rider 1, or Number 1, or even Version 1 (it's wrong, but less so than Strawberry.)

I understand that some people have a preference for Japanese sounding names, but this is like apples and oranges.

Which do you prefer? I say Ichigo simply because that's what everyone
in-universe calls him.

Same reason nobody says "Masked Rider", "transform", or "Masked Rider Hat."

Masked Rider Hat, by the way, is the one who walks the path of heaven.

But that's only because it isn't a name, it's a word. That would be like calling the Riders "Kaizoningens" instead of "Cyborgs." Or ANY noun, for that matter.

Also, a Kabuto is a kind of beetle. Not just a helmet.
