Wait she got a name? I thought any Japanese depicted ghost can come out of TV screens

She always had a name

She's from a 1991 Japanese book that got adapted into film (Ringu) and then again in the US (The Ring) where her name is changed to Samara

Specifically the character from The Ring movie. The person whose specific vengeful spirit haunts the video tape. It's been ages since I've seen it but I think they changed her name to Samara in the international release but in the original Japanese film the person whose ghost haunts the tape is named Sadako.
