'The name Kado came about when he was a senior lecturer. The College issued a directory of all personnel, with the usual acronyms. We couldn’t find him in it. When we did, his name was under the wrong initials, and so he became known as Kado ~ pronounced in the manner of the character in the Clouseau movies ~ ‘Kato.’
