Nah, probably not. It's pretty obvious from the source that the one you're thinking of is from a different part of the country. It's probably a fairly common name at the regional level (and the canonical Onna-Gumi has a different official English translation to make their logo work anyway).

That's very true, although Norimi has heard enough horror stories about one turning into the other on sponsorship gigs that she was kind of half-expecting, half-dreading it on this one, and is pleasantly surprised that it hasn't happened.

That was, indeed, rather the idea, yes. :)
