Though that reference, and perhaps this one, actually originate in the Encyclopedia.
I have the latest edition of the Encyclopedia. it doesn't give a class or registry.
Possibly an older edition had it?
Must be. I’m just going off what Memory Beta says.
I believe several conjectural names/classes/registries for the 1st edition Ency were removed for subsequent editions.
Interestingly, not the TOS Farragut. Still shows a Connie and a registry.
I have a copy of the third edition. I just checked it for you, and it's definitely in there.

That is a very strangely structured phrase. It feels like it was edited down from a clearer sentence.

There's probably a "someone who is" missing from there, but it doesn't seem to help that they seemed to be looking for an in-universe way to phrase "existing character."

Just learned about this. Glad to see all of these compiled. Picking one up! (Nov 8)
Looking forward to the STO collection. Would be great if there's a Vol. 2 that includes the various short-story lore blogs from over the years. Like the one where an ancestor of Sulu fights an "Oni".
Yeah, that would be great. And is that a Na'kuhl? lol
It is! They think they can do one over Starfleet by killing an ancestor but this soldier is no match for Samurai Sūrū Yoshitaro!
"Suuruu" isn't a real Japanese surname as far as I know. The best attempt I've seen to rationalize "Sulu" as a Japanese name is Mike Okuda's suggestion that it's a weird Anglicization of Tsuru, meaning the red-crested crane. But I prefer to assume that Sulu is part-Filipino and it's the actual Tausug name Sulu from that side of his family. So his Japanese ancestors wouldn't have had the same surname.
Anyway, it seems counterintuitive, but beyond eleven to fourteen generations, the probability that any single genealogical ancestor contributed any surviving genomic blocks to a person’s genetic code decreases to zero. Beyond that point, no single ancestor’s removal from the timeline would alter a person’s own genetics.
https://gcbias.org/2013/11/04/how-much-of-your-genome-do-you-inherit-from-a-particular-ancestor/
https://gcbias.org/2013/11/11/how-does-your-number-of-genetic-ancestors-grow-back-over-time/
Assuming that a typical generation is about 25-30 years, 14 generations would be about 350-420 years. The story dates the fight to the 17th century during the reign of Emperor Higashiyama, so it's between 1689-1699, or nearly five and a half centuries before Sulu's 2237 birthdate per the Chronology. So even if the Na'kuhl had succeeded, it would've been unlikely to affect Hikaru Sulu.
Suru would be unlikely to become Sūrū, since the former is a two-syllable word and the latter is four syllables (Su-u-ru-u). And they're both implausible attempts to rationalize Sulu's non-Japanese surname as a Japanese one.
And really, the Japanese didn't adopt the family name/given name pattern as standard until the 1870s. It would've probably made more sense for Sulu just to call himself [Something] no Hikaru, i.e. Hikaru of some clan or village.
