From the pre-order page for Splatune 3 on ebten:
"Special features include a chat about music between Marie, Marina, and Big Man, tweets from C-Side bass vocalist Beika, and an article about the secrets of the hit band, Front Roe."
so Beika is their name! (and has a deep voice)

We all know Splatoon 3's Hero mode is called "Return of the Mammalians," but apparently the first 2 hero modes do have their own names too!
Splatoon: Octarian Strikes Back
Splatoon 2: The Vanishing Sister

years before inkopolis plaza, the tutorial area of splatoon 2 in the backstreets of inkopolis square was the hub of the city's fashion culture.
the first firefin brand shirts were sold here by artists named Saygo and a75ching.
a75ching has also designed the logo for squidforce. twitter.com/Splatfacts/sta…

made a clean graphic of the translation of the text on Splatoon 2's Sunken Scroll 24. I cant take credit for all the translation of the scroll, as it was a group effort. See the replies for more info about square script!
