It seems that "Kinki" University of Japan is considering to be renamed "kindai" University. "Kinki" is the area of Kyoto and other four prefectures in Japan, and it sounds like kinky. "Kindai" means "Kinki Univ.", so "Kindai University" is the same meaning as "Kinki-Univ. University". I feel it is funny.
Katsuo is a character in the Japanese TV anime "Sazae-san", and it sounds similar to the Italian word "cazzo" that means dick. I heard that many Italian cheered a Japanese player "katsuo" in the Roma Olympics by that reason. So the name of "Kinki University" would be attractive for some people and help to make the name known.
Barack Obama is cheered by the people of Obama city in Japan, although that is not helpful for his victory at all.
