[It can't be helped, can it. Higashikata's just going to call Kidou 'Yuuto' and it's now awkward to correct him about it. Because no sooner has he said Kidou's given name than he uses another name that cuts out any chance at saying anything.
The slam on the table gets his eyebrows to raise up in surprise, and then his mouth to drop open for a few moments.]
Kouji-
[It's a rare moment. Kidou stops in mid-sentence. And stares.]
Genda Koujirou?
[He speaks slowly, eyes never leaving Josuke. It has to be Genda that he's referring to; this guy's already shown his preference for referring to people by their given names. If anything, it's trained Kidou to just introduce himself by surname only. That was a final straw of sorts.
But more importantly, that begs another question - How does this guy know about Genda? Unlike Kidou, Genda's been keeping to the shadows completely. And to know to connect them through this... that'd mean he'd have seen something from Genda.
What does he know?
After a pause, Kidou confirms that, even though simply knowing the name would be a pretty strong hint.]
