Maybe Rex could be his nickname? That's what he goes by? Say his father was American and his mother Japanese, he was born in Japan, but grew up in America. I knew a couple of American-Asian kids at my school who had socially "weird" or "foreign" names so they just went by nicknames to make things easier. Instead of the obvious "Joe" or "Joey" he goes by Rex instead. Perhaps from a character building perspective, that's a nickname his father gave him or something.

Kaseki Junoichi is his birthname, close friends and family call him Jun, he introduces himself "Rex Kaseki" to everyone else. That gets my vote.

His father should be Japanese because Kaseki is a Japanese word. Maybe his mother could be a descendant of a paleontologist?
