Why would the author name be incorrect on the device...
...while in calibre it is correct?

I recently brought in 3 books to calibre by Haruki Murakami, not a name easily conflated.

Of ten books by him on my Kobo Clara, three have Anglo names, all different. They all fit in order in the series "Murakami". Never seen such a thing before.

How to fix this?

After resending them, one name dropped and duplicated one of the others.

They seem to be the translators.

Those names are not visible in Author or Author_Sort in calibre?

No. Both fields in Edit Metadata are Murakami.

E: I didn't think of the possibility of the name of translator. But you're correct. I opened the books and there it is.

Somehow that's coming over in Send to Device.

It's probably somewhere in the metadata, then. Open the book in the calibre editor and check the content.opf file.

Since it did not ring a bell, you probably did not ever use it.
Preferences:metadata plugboards

What it does is sneaks (merges) other fields and data into standard places (eg Authors or Title) on devices that use metadata, not filename.

Example: for an AZW3 via the content server, puts {series_index:0>5.2f|| - }{title} into the normal title on the device.

No, never used.

Not at my library device at this time; I'll open that Preference later and see if I can intuit what to do. Along with following Sirtel's suggestion.

For what it may be worth, a Kobo ereader will use the first entry in the author list in the .opf file as the author when importing the book. If you have automatic metadata send enabled, this will overwrite that with the author(s) from calibre's metadata. This is one of the reasons you need to plug your Kobo back in to allow metadata to be sent after the database entry has been created during the import process.
