And why doesn't it suffice having them in the infobox (at the same height) and later in the text again? It would make the intros certainly more readable. I think nicknames, whenever given in the article itself, should be given with context. To use Tsunade as an example: "Fifth Hokage" has context for its inclusion in the intro, "Konoha's Slug Princess Tsunade" has none whatsoever and randomly is given its own sentence. If providing context is in any way distracting, as it would need to be for "Konoha's Slug Princess Tsunade", it shouldn't be in the intro and should instead be reserved for elsewhere in the article.

On what basis is this done and on what basis are the terms chosen? I think this tends to be a remnant of certain terms being used on the wiki before the wiki had an article for those terms. (God of Shinobi comes to mind as a good example.) When I came across instances like these, I always removed the Japanese and I don't remember any opposition. If there are times when providing the Japanese in some way informs the article - say to note the shared character between ninja and ninjutsu - then I suppose that would be a reason. But that would be the exception, not the rule.
