Hello Montanius:

Yes, Usagi天兔 is the name of the typhoon just visited Taiwan. It's a new name. About the naming of Typhoons, it has been changed for some years, no longer only female names since it makes people feeling the discrimination deeply.

Also, after some typhoons with the same names brought huge damages on human lives and properties, the naming system had taken the names of those terrible typhoon forever and put in new names. It seems now we all can suggest new names thus hopefully can bring down the terrifying losses of a typhoon.

Well, it seems nonsense, but, look at this Usage, it is really only like a huge rabbit......
