Description I think I wrote it right.

Leo, Kimba's original Japanese name. Unlike most animes, I prefer the original American dub of the old cartoon. I don't know why, I just do. It's...it's special to me.

Kimba as a whole is special to me.

Because he'll always be Kimba, not Leo, to me.

Hi I'm running a YouTube channel about Kimba the White Lion, and I'm hoping to make a video series showing off some of my favourite fanart of the series. Would you be alright with me featuring this picture in a video? I'll put a link to the DeviantArt page in the description and credit you in the video :3

Hi, thank you for the offer but I'm going to have to decline. I've had a long and rocky history with fandom interaction and I really don't want anymore attention to this account. I hope you understand

Very close. But it would actually be the katakana character for "ri" as the first syllable. In Japanese, katakana are used as a syllable based character system focused on phonetics. Not necessarily "letter or letter translation".

In Japanese, the vowels, more or less, are

a = "ah"
i = "ee"
u = "oo"
e = "eh"
o = "oh"

You were very close though. The way you wrote it would be pronounced kind of like "reh-oh".

But aren't R and l interchangable in japanese?

LeeJay83 In reply to KHwhitelion [2011-10-06 03:35:11 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes. The "R" is not the issue. It's the vowel paired with it. The left most katakana character you used is "re", and "e" in Japanese is pronounced like "eh". However, in the Latin word "Leo", it is indeed the letter "e", but the e is phonetically pronounced "ee", not "eh". Hence, the left katakana character should be "ri", not "re", as the "i" in "ri" is pronounced like "ee".

To help more directly, "Leo" would be ăƒȘă‚Ș, not ハă‚Ș (not sure if you can see those or not.

Oooooooh! Got it!!!

Huh. On all the toys they spelled it like the second symbol. I think they DO pronounce it "Leh-oh." At least, that's how I herd it in th ejapanese songs XD


But wow. Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me with tis kind of things.

Thanks for the info ^^

Oh. Interesting. Well, maybe they do indeed pronounce it that way way... I certainly don't live in Japan, or professionally study Japanese. But what I've been taught about it is that it's supposed to be a phonetic alphabet. But there're always exceptions to the typical phonetic rules, I'm sure, in Japanese. For example, "energy" is "enerugii" (ă‚šăƒăƒ«ă‚źăƒŒ). However, before I knew better, I wanted to say "enaajii" (ă‚šăƒŠăƒŒă‚žăƒŒ). However, a friend who spoke Japanese fluently corrected me on that. So you never know, you could have it right after all
