Fnrrf Ygm Schnish wiki weirdness

I wonder why it is that Matsu Cracke's page on the Fnrrf Ygm Schnish wiki gets so many hits compared to all of the other pages on there? Seriously... I just checked the numbers of hits for every page and he's at 152, which is just short of overtaking the Fnrrf Ygm Schnish timeline page (which has probably the most information out of the entire wiki, being a timeline of pretty much everything that's ever happened in the Fnrrf Ygm Schnish universe.)  That's kind of ridiculous.

And on top of that, Matsu is way ahead of any other character's page; the next-highest are Ma-Du Nebozu (with 130) and Eddie Ril (with 108.)  Other pages in that range are mostly pages of entire species (like the Yenrab, Blurbys, and K'hyurbhis... with the Numnums, oddly, lagging behind a bit), which get linked to a ton and are mentioned on a lot of other pages.

I wonder why Matsu, of all characters, is getting so much attention on the wiki?  His page hasn't been on there incredibly long (it's only from mid-2011, there's a bunch of pages on there nearly a year older) and isn't linked from all that many other pages (only 9, plus a redirect for if you just type in "Matsu"), at least when compared to the other most-popular pages (for comparison: Adam Nebozu has more than three times that number in actual links, plus two redirects for "Adam" and "Ma-Du Nebozu.")  So I have no idea what could be making so many people look at this one guy's page more than others.

Maybe it's Japanese people, or people searching for Japanese stuff... since apparently "matsu" means "pine tree" in Japanese (I didn't know this when I came up with the name, of course; he has nothing to do with trees.)  That's all I can think of, anyway.
