First, An-Doonatsu-ko is An-Donut-ko, red-bean paste donut.  ^_^

In the entry, it is said that An-Doonatsu-ko is NOT Andou Natsuko,
not "paroding" Andou Natsuko.

I run a search in GOO and Google, and got some interesting results:

1. An RPG game call Bancho Gakuen has a character called Andou Natsuko,
   shopkeeper of a Donut shop called An-Donut in the game.

2. Apparently someone has start typing and uploading the encyclopedia
   onto the net.

3. Karedou Natsuko, lyric writer of some anime and seiyuu song (e.g.
   quite a few Tenchi Muyo songs), is actually a pen name.  The name
   comes from "Curry Donut" -> "Karee Donatsu" -> "Karedo Natsu".
   ^_^;   In creating the pen name, the first one she thought of was
   "An Donut" (Andou Natsuko), then came Karedou Natsuko.

There are also many personal pages mentioning they knew someone
called Andou Natsuko, and they first reaction was An-Donut.
There is also one Andou Natsuko having an art exhibition on
Kyoto/Shiga, and another Andou Natsuko of Toyo University ranked
52 in the combine downhill skiing competition....
