Its a hazard that comes with using Chinese characters. Koreans got tired of the whole mess and ended up inventing their own writing system. The Japanese tried their best to keep it up to date by adding even more characters. Even the Chinese themselves tried to update it with simplified characters. I suppose in this case, its because the concept of "knighthood" is foreign to far eastern cultures, the nearest analogy would be the samurai, what with being the Japanese equivalent of a feudal warrior with a code of honor.
