What makes it stand out?

To my English ears it sounds a little bit Chinese rather than Japanese names I see.

It's a Chinese name. Specifically a name romanized using a system typically used in Taiwan, I think (you tend to see "hs" in Taiwanese names whereas in the PRC "Hsiao" would be "Xiao"). Taiwan has close ties to Japan so that's not too surprising really.
