It's "Kizaru"! Not Kizeru.

[Monimonika]

Hi, I'm new but have been a lurker for a while. I'm fluent in Japanese so I appreciate being able to read the OP raws here.

I've seen a certain trend for a while now, and I thought it needed to be addressed in a noticeable thread. Not sure of who started it, but the spelling "Kizeru" is just plain wrong. No ambiguity exists here. The correct spelling/pronunciation is "Kizaru".

Most know by now that the title "Kizaru" means "Yellow Monkey". "Monkey" in Japanese is "saru" (the "s" sound gets changed to a "z" sound in this case). The vowel sound, on the other hand, does not change at all. Don't believe me? Check out the original raws and take a careful look at what rubi kana is used to write the title. A hiragana chart is easy to google for.

I'm fluent in English, so I felt that I need to point out…

The title should read like this: It's "Kizaru!" Not Kizeru.

The exclamation mark should be inside of the quotation marks, regardless of the context the quotation marks are used in.

I really don´t think that this needs it´s own thread. In all the translations he´s been called Kizaru so it should be clear actually. If somebody says Kizeru and you feel the need to correct him/her then just do it in the respective thread.

Not meaning to sound like a smartass but Kizaru is nothing more then a silhouette for now, so a thread just for the correct romanisation of his name is a bit much IMO. Hope you don´t take it offensive.

BTW, welcome aboard.

This thread should close.

Why isn't this closed yet ?

There's no point in making a thread about something or someone that didn't even make an official appearence just to set the name straight, that could have been done in the other threads where the users make the mistake like everyone above me said

I appreciate this as I have been bothered by all the infidels who dared defy your fluent Japanese understanding of Kizaru, since no one else at this site speaks Japanese (the translations we get just magically appear).

I always just went with Kaizaru, so I was wrong either way. Seriously though, did you need a thread for this, I know you're a language crusader, saving the day, but damn.

Well, good for you.

in all honesty, to all those who posted in this thread, just one post was enough, no need to slam the guy. He or she is obviously new.
