Is this one of those crazy conspiracy theories or is there actually some reason he would want to hide his identity?

Like maybe he's afraid the secret service will track him for writing a story about a mass murderer.
Or he's hugely unpopular with the target audience because he has a big nose.
Or he's really superstitious, actually a woman and lives on mars.

In terms of it actually getting written out it might even look like Oba, though the Japanese have taken a liking of using h to denote the long o, and stop putting the Western order of first/last names in everything.

The S in Tsugumi was conveniently left out

Death Note is such a crapy movie, that he needs anagrams so he can make other stuff.

tsu is sometimes (but pretty rarely) romanized Tu.

Death Note is a pretty decent anime though, you should look into that rather than into the movie

Gamou Hiroshi had always written comedy stuff he the rationale is that he couldnt use his actual pen name to write a very serious and brainy series and have the audience take it seriously.

If it is a different genre it makes sense. If you are going to do something that your usual audience may not like, you might want to just 'smurf' so that they don't connect it with you.

I should clarify further than his brand of comedy was along the lines of really stupid / outrageous stuff, saying "completely opposite of death note" doesn't even do it justice.

Hmm, I gotta really read that Death Note manga.

Gonna check this one out too. It sounds interesting with that anagram thing. o_O

anagrams don't make sense when one goes from Asian to Romantic languages since each "character" in Asian languages become syllables and not individual letters, which can't really be rearranged the way it is in English
This is what people who are too lazy to think of a signature do

About the missing "s" and whatnot, the first names I spelled out are the ones I wrote out off the top of my head, japanese ppel blow at english so it's completely conceivable that they didnt romanize perfectly when coming up with the anagram.

Honestly I dont see how this can be coincidence hahaha considering there's enough evidence to suggest that Ohba is indeed Gamou, esp b/c they showed teh rough draft from the duo's new series on the magazine or something and Ohba's rough drawings are IDENTICAL to gamou's style (some pple are going "it would be epic if Ohba were just trying to completely fool us with this LOL)
