Looks like that nametag was shopped in for the plebs that couldn't understand it.

This is a naval officer though. General Tso Chi Kin was a famed military commander during China's Three Kingdoms era. It was rumored that Cao Cao was actually only a puppet of Tso, whose philosophy is the "Humble Chicken, Spicy Dragon" in which he feigns mediocrity in public to exert superiority in stealth (hence, he was history's first Stealth Fighter [citation needed]). His early victories elevated the Cao Cao faction but he suddenly disappeared in 230 AD, probably due to assassination by Cao Cao himself. In remembrace of his prowness, a dish was named after him 300 years later.

I don't think the nametag was photoshopped in. I think it's an integral part of the costume, comically large because the costume is hilarious
