That happened because the Italian anime was not translated from Japanese, but from English (and UK or US are so bad). In more recent times Italian translate directly from Japanese and in fact things have improved a lot.

The reason Americans say Conan as "ko-nen" is because it's actually an Irish name so we're used to actual people having that name rather than the fictional one from the cartoon. I definitely grew up watching some Shin Chan and really loved it! It was translated to English but I still could how absolutely absurd the TV show was and its humor was just infectiously good

Japanese and Korean are actually pretty close in their structure and grammar, therefore it's pretty easy to master one if you're a native in the other. However, for English speakers, I'd say that Korean is challenging in speaking/listening since there are many sounds that don't exist in English, whereas Japanese is challenging in writing/reading because of the extensive characters used.

I feel like Indian pronunciations would also differ based on the speaker's mother tongue? Like I pronounce shin-chan more like shin-chyan (if that makes sense) because we have that y sound in my mother tongue. It's difficult to explain but anyway 😅

This happens for many foreign shows/books/anything aimed at kids. Even Harry Potter's names like Gryffindor, Slytherin, Dumbledore and whatnot were changed in many languages because kids (and even adults) from most other countries didn't know the English pronunciation for them (obviously) and the names would've been to difficult and confusing. Also, names in HP almost always carry a deeper meaning, like let's say Snape. Foreign kids (and again, some or most adults) wouldn't know what Snape meant and therefore names were also changed to carry the implication of him being a "snape" in their languages.

Kirby's name is based on the name Kirby. the character was named after a person named Kirby. since the character was in a Japanese game, the Japanese pronunciation was used which is Kābi or however she said it. Kirby is the 'true' name and the names in the other languages use that as a basis rather than Kābi. (or we may have ended up with Cubby or something like that)

@DoroNijimaru

11 ай бұрын

@@HipHopLucky7 i'm telling the truth. the Japanese pronunciation is not Kabi(かび), it's かーび. the あー sound in かー is commonly used in Japanese to approximate the R sound when used as a vowel, like in Mark, Bird, or Kirby. the character Kirby was named Kirby(かーび) after someone named Kirby(John Kirby i believe his name was. he was an American lawyer who had worked for Nintendo). Kā is the romaji for かー (i've also seen Kaa (so Kaabi=Kābi)) but the name かーび is the Japanese approximation of Kirby so the romaji for かーび is more likely to be Kirby than Kābi/Kaabi because if they were going to spell it the latter way, they'd probably just use kana to represent it(かーび), while letters allow the word to keep it's etymology(Kirby) and is what i often see with words being able to express how they'd be pronounced in other languages, such as making a discernment between R and L sounds. regardless of how it's spelled Kirby/Kaabi/Kābi/かーび they'll pronounce it かーび which in english sounds a lot like Kaabi (or like Kirby with a Japanese accent)

Fun Fact: "Shigeru Miyamoto stated that "Kirby" was chosen in honor of American lawyer John Kirby, who defended Nintendo in the Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. case in 1984 and that the harsh-sounding name contrasted amusingly with the character's cute appearance."

In Spain we pronounce it the same as in Italy.

For most of the Indians Doraemon and Shinchan are emotions , even my Parents watched alongside me . Comming back from school at 2 PM , i and Mom had Lunch watching either of the Cartoons . good old days 😢❤

I like how the second guy mimicked the first lady and did a hand wave for hello kitty too ~~ 🤗

i think in the US we would pronounce rilakkuma more like "reela-kooma". ive heard multiple American people pronounce it that way instead of the original Japanese pronunciation.

I think he didn’t know who the character was and had no frame of reference, so he made an informed but blind guess. I hear people pronounce it the same way you described. They pronounce it the same as the beginning of the word “relax” (which makes sense since his name is a shortened/play-on-words version of “relax bear”- with the name pulling its beginning from the English-borrowed word リラクス). However, I’ve heard many people use the Japanese pronunciation as well- it varies depending.

As a french person, I always said Kirby’s name the same way as American does

Thanks

As an Italian I can say that rilakkuma, was not that famous but my melody was really well know because of the anime that you could see on television. At least for me 😂

In Italian if we only listened to the"audio"of the japanese name Kirby we would probably write it Kabi. It _is_ totally different. 07:48 And I mean...the subtitles agree with me!;-P

I may have been living on under a rock, but did any other American not grow up with Doraemon? I didn't even know what it was until I moved to Asia.

Yeah like none of my American friends even know what Doreamon is

It was interesting to see how stuff was pronounced in other countries. I do remember watching Doreamon on Disney XD and swear they pronounced it closer to the Japanese ver.

E tem pessoas que falam que o francês é bem próximo do italiano,a francesa ficou perdida. Português,espanhol e italiano são línguas bem parecida,o francês é latin

As a little kid in the 90's, lots of anime was heavily edited and characters were given Western names, and anything Japanese might have been edited out. Many of the characters in Pokemon, Sailor Moon (the first time it was released), Cardcaptors (now Cardcaptor Sakura), Yu-Gi-Oh, & Digimon. Most anime I remember from childhood kept its Japanese culture, but these aforementioned ones were edited so much that any kana/kanji didn't exist and onigiri were called donuts.

Flashback to that one pokemon episode

It depends a lot on the show and when it was brought over I think. When I was a kid they changed all the names of characters in anime’s to “localize” it. (Like Sailor Moon being changed to “Serena” in the 90’s) But nowadays most translations try to stay pretty accurate to the source materials.

Another interesting interview is asking about Pokémon names in different languages

Rilakkuma is very famous as well as My Melody and Hello Kitty in the US

I would love to learn japanese it's an amazing language and amazing accent. But i know it's not as easy to learn it

4:25 me too like it.. even though I only watch a few minutes of it... I love the anime, Inuyasha...

Imagine if they did this with pokemon names, human or pokemon!

Please let Mariko hear the theme songs of these anime in the different languages, please!

In France, we say Kirby like in the USA.

In Panama (were I live) and basically any Spanish speaking country, Kirby is pronounced like in Italian, which does makes sense because both Italian and Spanish (and French) have a common ancestor, btw, in Spanish H is also mostly silent, however, for foreign words and names, unlike French, we do pronounce it, like in Hello Kitty, for this case, instead of Ello Kitty

So happy for this one. Doraemon and Shin Chan are my favourite characters. Also Kiteretsu,Ninja Hattori, Perman, Kochikame, Detective Conan and many more

Love the vid her reaction was really funny 😂

Wow, Giulia likes anime! 😲 i like you more!! 😻😽❤️🌹

Oh wow she's so beautiful ❤️😍. Watched the video just to see her.

In the US, shin-chan was on TV but it was on adult swim, which is a late night tv block on cartoon network for adults.

Except Shinchan, Doraemon and Conan i know nothing else. Even Conan wasn't that popular as it telecasted only few episodes then closed down but it got me so intrigued so i watched it online and still my fav anime of all time.

Really? Where are you from? Japanese animes were the thing in Italy during the 80s, 90s and 00s. Literally everyone knows them because we watched them as kids, they were streamed everyday on kids channels. So interesting, I thought they were famous in most other countries too.

​@@lauragoreni3020 she is from India. Yes they are popular here as well, but some of those above are not. Some cartoons they didn't show are super popular like Ninja Hattori, Kiteretsu, Ultra B, Lucky man etc. I also think it depends on state etc. Because each state has different language here, the cartoons get dubbed into majorly 5 languages in India. And it depends on the television networks the language has. Where I am from Detective Conan is popular and there are other Japanese shows that are popular.

Mexico used to change the names of characters. For example Hikaru from Magic Knight is called Lucy because it's a name related to Luz wich mean light=hikaru. Another example is Kagome from Inuyasha here's called Aome because here is a term to indicate going to poop (Cago) so Kagome would had been like to call her Shitome in English jaja. 😅

なに！！！Ca doit être le seul français qui prononce les noms "à la française". En France on a adopté la prononciation soit japonaise ou au pire américaine. It must be the only Frenchman who pronounces names "à la française". In France we have adopted the pronunciation either Japanese or at worst American.

I think part of the reason that Shin-chan and Detective Conan didn't take off in America is because in Japan they're children's shows but in the early 2000s in America they put it on Adult Swim with the more "mature" shows because they were seen as being too innapropriate to air on children's stations. Most people watching the Adult Swim anime block at the time were watching it for shows more like Inuyasha and Trigun and stuff, so Shin-chan and Detective Conan didn't quite fit in with the rest of the shows. Also Detective Conan was localized to Case Closed and all the characters were given Western names for some reason? Idk much about Shin Chan but Detective Conan does have a dedicated following in the west now even though it's never been "Popular" here. Lol I'm one of the few people who fell in love with it when it first aired, though I didn't vibe with Shin-chan as a kid. Sorry, Shin-chan. Also for whatever reason Detective Conan was localized to Case Closed and all the names were westernized. On Crunchyroll the series is under "Case Closed (Detective Conan)" But doesn't have the original English dub and the subtitles keep the Japanese names. I still have the English manga published in the early 2000s with the western names, idk what names are being used now if it's still being published in English. I've never seen anyone in the modern fandom ever call it Case Closed or use the western names though. If you say Case Closed they'll probably know what you mean but if you ever bring up "Jimmy and Rachel" you'll probably get a very weird look. Also if you like cutesy Japanese stuff here you likely know who Rilakuma is even if you don't know him by name, I see him all the time in any stores that carries cute Japanese things like Sanrio plushies and cute Japanese stationary and stuff. He's not nearly as popular as a Sanrio character but he's definitely around and usually in the same area you'd find them. If I showed a picture of him to my friends they'd recognize him but I think I'm the only one who knows him by name. Anyway, this is just some added perspective from an American who happened to know exactly who every single character on this list was lol.

As an American I grew up watching Shin-chan and Conan... as a teenager staying up late

Kirby is spelled "Kirby" in English and other languages because the character is named after an American who had that name. The pronunciation of the game character in Japanese is Japanese trying to approximate the English pronunciation of the name. In that sense the "correct" or intended pronunciations of the character are the American English pronunciation and then secondly the Japanese pronunciation based on it.

In french .. Kirby or 'kur-bee' I would say. but "Kyyyrbee" ... I do not know if we all say like that. But I remember people of my gen also fighting about how to pronounce Unreal Tournament, some said 'Un-re-al tour-naman' or just "unreal" (read un-riiii-l) - and others said it properly in english. so yeah it depends of your age, and your knowledge of english I guess. But for sure,in FR anime where support popular - like 30 yrs ago, some stuffs were with completely different names : Nicky Larson (also the name of the anime) in French where the hero name in JP is Ryo Saeba - City Hunter

If you want different, go with 70s, 80s and 90s anime. World wild, since the end of the 90s/early 2000, anime fan/watcher develloped a more autentic taste for japanese-like name, which lead the anime & characters name to be closer to the original names, hence the multiple similitude in this video
