...long as Brook remains faithful to the Shakespearean source, his dramatic choices are justifiable, but in his desire to render the play more coherent, he makes some changes that are unforgivable. Edmund is deprived of the rhetorical flourish with which Shakespeare endowed him, and the brilliant soliloquy of the first act ("This is the excellent foppery of the world...") is shortened and presented as part of a dialogue between Edmund and his brother.

...your version is perhaps understandable. Ten is a shortened form of tenno heika, which the Japanese use when referring to their Emperor. Literally, ten means "heaven," no means "king," and heika means "his majesty." But the phrase Ten-chan is idiomatic.
