It's not really "know as 過労死" in Japanese. That's just the words for "excess", "work", and "death". That's kinda like saying "it's known as 'overworking to death' in Britain".

That's like saying Feuetzeug is not a real German word because it's just the words Feuer and Zeug and it's kinda like saying "fire thing" in Britain
