It's a strange story.
The use of this specific term is kinda bizarre: using cubes to represent kinetic destruction as existed since 1965 as far as I know, as seen in this cut by Yasuo Otsuka

Just a quick comparison with Nakamura, look at 14 seconds here:

It's almost the same animation, and there are countless examples in between; the main reason, I believe, for Nakamura to become the namesake of this specific style was due to the coincidental birth of the mass social media around 2007-2012 and his rise as arguably the most notable action animator of the last fifteen years, which made so that his cuts became so shared that people associated the cubes with him directly.
For about ten years you only read Yutapon Cubes, but I would say that this has chenged with the advent of the new generation of younger animators, whom had Nakamura as an example and were born in a post-social media world, so they saw the cubes as an inherent part of action animation and incorporated into their style without thinking.
Nowadays the cubes are noted but are less commonly referred as Yutapon, which is almost comical seeing that he wasn't the creator of that tecnique in the first place.
