upper-case romaji makes no sense; converting to lower case:

In case you are talking about the character "Ein?"
His name is a pun on the Japanese word for "dog" (inu) but is also German for "one" (possibly because he is the only dog featured in the show, or because he is the first new character to be added to the series). 'Ein' may also be short for 'Einstein', after Albert Einstein, because of the extraordinary intelligence he expresses. It should also be noted, however, that "ein" is also Japanese for the perineum, but this epithet is highly doubtful.
