The only other page I clicked on recently was Kokonoe's, which mentioned alliteration like Taokaka's and chocolate, but not the most obvious one (in my opinion) - 子 (ko) is a diminuitive which can mean 'small' or 'young' or more specifically in this case, 'child', and konoe... ko-konoe, literally, konoe's child.

Unfortunately, many of the Japanese character names (Shishigami, Amane) are written in katakana and not in kanji, so aside from the most common meanings, there is no way to discern for sure what the designer's intention was. Amane's nickname 'Uzume' (God[dess] of Dance) is super obvious (Ame no Uzume), but as for the kanji, it's not even written in the Japanese official site or mooks/design works.

I'm new here and honestly, aside from the lyric translations, I don't intend to to contribute much or stay for very long. I apologize if it appeared as though I was hammering on this topic too hard, or singling out BP Vermillion because they were the only person who initially responded. That wasn't my intention.

Arakune's mask, however, really does look like a Shy Guy.

Thank you very much for your time.

edit: Shishigami is actually not a good example because, due to his boisterous nature, there is really only one possible interpretation, and I just checked his page and it is already there. That's nice.
