Who named Pan's character? So, I was wondering who decided to name the character Pan.

From what I know, she appears first in Dragon Ball GT, which isn't made by Akira Toriyama.

But we find her again in Dragon Ball Super.
So, did Toriyama use what was created by Dragon Ball GT's makers, or was he involved in the creation of Pan directly in GT ?
Pan appears for the first time in  the last chapter of the Dragon Ball manga, not in  GT 



She is below Son Gohan and Videl

So, unless an editor or  person close to Toriyama chose her  name, the author himself is who did it.
