funny enough there is actually a reason for this. its a tradition aging back to the days of the samurai. samurai in battles actually introduced each other in showy/detailed ways before battle...because it was part of their job so to speak. because they basically got rewarded depending on who they defeated or killed so unless they knew the person and titles they had before killing each other they didnt get paid for crap so this is just evolved from that.

And if I’m not mistaken when the Mongols invaded Japan, the samurais tried to introduce themselves like this too, only to be suddenly attacked mid-speech. Rude :/
