[edit] Mantaro Muscle
"(cur) (last) 08:05, 19 July 2006 Seigi Choujin (Talk | contribs | block) m (moved Mantaro Muscle to Mantaro Kinniku: Though "Kinniku" is in fact Japanese for "Muscle", there is already a character in this series with the English word "Muscle" a family name.)"
There's one problem. All of the English versions of Ultimate Muscle change it to "Muscle" - The manga uses "Mantaro Muscle" with Kid Muscle as a nickname. WhisperToMe 18:08, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Let's look at this for a moment -
" see where you are coming from, but I still disagree with the change. I've read through other people's complaints to you about similar stuff and I agree with you on a few and disagree with you on others. You see, though this is the English Wikipedia, some anime characters and shows are listed by their true names and titles while their corny English names are listed once in perenthesis like you have done with the Japanese names on Mantarou's page. Sailor Moon is famously known more over here for their stupid English names, yet if I'm not mistaken, the character's personal pages list them by their true names. And if one of you're concerns is people who don't know the original names trying to link a page to the charcter's page with their corny English name, well there's still Redirecting, isn't there? In actuallity, it is all only a matter of opinion which is more appropriate for Wikipedia to list them by. And when things are only a matter of opinion, is it not logical to go for the opinion that's at least a fact? Fact: Kinnikuman Nisei is from Japan Fact: In Japan, the hero is named Kinniku Mantarou Opinion: Mantarou Muscle is the better choice to list him by because blah, blah, blah... Like I've said, there is already a character (Harabote) in the series with the family name Muscle, so not only is calling him Kinniku at least a fact but it also creates less confusion for people who aren't that familiar with the series and might think the characters are related. Again, this is all a matter of opinion. I believe in staying true to what anything from another country originally was, you apparentlly believe in making things easier for english speaking audiences to relate to. Though I will stand firmly by my belief, I won't change the name back until I have your okay. And if I never change your mind about it, can we at least keep the characters from the first series (even those who play important roles in the sequal) by their real names? Thank you...--Seigi Choujin 07:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC) "
"Fact: Kinnikuman Nisei is from Japan Fact: In Japan, the hero is named Kinniku Mantarou "
Fact: Pokemon is from Japan Fact: In Japan, the series is called Pocket Monsters Fact: EN uses "Pokemon"
See how the argument is flawed? :)
"Muscle, so not only is calling him Kinniku at least a fact but it also creates less confusion for people who aren't that familiar with the series and might think the characters are related."
That is easy to rectify. Just throw in a note saying "Even though the character has the name "Muscle", he is not related to the "Muscle" family."
I am leaving alone Kinnikuman since there is no manga translation of that series.
The original names are in parenthenses and are extensively noted. Also, VIZ uses the original names of SOME of the characters (E.G. while Rinko is changed to Roxanne, Keiko and I think Tamaki stay the same) WhisperToMe 07:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kinnikuman.com message boards
Seigi Choujin, Thanks for the great job you're doing on the Kinnikuman-related articles. You are personally making this an excellent resource for those of us in America whom are ignorant of the 'lost storyline' of some of our childhood toys, and the history of "Ultimate Muscle." Since I don't think you are a member of the American Kinnikuman Information Archive, I'd like to ask you to come to the boards. You have a knowledge that rivals the top people in the english speaking community, and from the amount of time you're on Wikipedia, you would probably have a big presence on the board. I would have e-mailed this to you, but you do not have your e-mail listed. TheOrgg

[edit] Intro
Bro, you seem to know Japanese. I would be VERY VERY happy if you could translate the intro of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (anime) for me. Or maybe you know were i can find it? I was in love with it when i was a kid :) --Striver 02:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
