Nope, like Chad said, they were only named after them in ENGLISH, but the hitmons were based on Hiroyuki Ebihara and Tadashi Saramura, boxer/kickboxers, thus their Japanses names are Ebiwalar and Sawamular. Hitmontop's Japanese name comes from a Brazilian fighting style which involves spinning kicks.

Hitmontop's jap name is Kapoelar, which comes from 'Capoeira' (basically yes, you're right)

Also Darkrai is a dumb name because it is a combination of Dark and Kurai (dark in Jap)
