		The major argument for Hojo being a family name is that the name itself, both according to the Name Origin above and a Japanese dictionary, it is a family name.
		As for the Hojo clan itself, the Grolier Encyclopedia states that during the Kamakura Period in Japanese history, the Hojo clan wrested control of the shogunate and actual power in Japan, while the emperor remained a mere figurehead.
		This is rather similar to Professor Hojo's position at Shinra - he remains ostensibly under the control of the emperor (President Shinra) but is the one actually ruling the country (plot of the game) and could not be stopped by the emperor's forces if he chose to move against him.
