Its... pretty much a month late on that question you asked on why my character, a Shinigami, is named in German. The answer is simple, I don't believe that every Shinigami must be Japanese, just Soul Society is stuck in a feudal Japanese form, and considering it existed long before feudal Japanese society, I'd say its just to evoke an ancient feeling without coming across as alien, so, I have characters named from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. It helps that they all come from around BC to early AD too where Japan was still getting into the swing of things as a nation of its own.
