Question: Typhoon naming on windy.com

I'm just curious why what JTWC calls Tropical Depression 04W (Geami) is called "Five" on windy.com, and what JTWC calls Tropical Depression 05W is called "Four" on windy.com.

JTWC use their own naming TD 05W and TD 04W

“ ….the JTWC designated the system as Tropical Depression 05W.[60] Early the next day, the tropical depression intensified into a tropical storm, and was given the name Gaemi by the JMA.”

Thanks @idefix37, different name is confusing me. Btw, "four" is also named by JTWC?

@idefix37 OK, I found out that ECWMF calls GAEMI 04W, but JWTC calls it 05W. This is what confuses me the most.
