That is her last name, yes! However, I decided to opt out of referring to her as "Shiraha Utatane"/"Utatane Shiraha" for a couple of reasons, not because I forgot or simply didn't want to.

Though if you're thinking "why bother adding it at all," I didn't want to list her family name originally, but to me, it was important enough to at least mention! I also didn't want to appear "lazy" or have Shiraha lacking in that sense. It's an idication that, yes, she does have a family and roots as a character, but it also abides to my decision to leave her last name "dropped" :)
