Talk:Tawaraya

You changed my l337 talking to nobody part. Oh well.

Tsukasa?
Saw Roots 4 and Ender calls Tawaraya "Tsukasa". Translation error? Kulaguy 01:29, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd say so. --CRtwenty 01:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

TawaLaya?
In the dubbed Roots, the R in Tawaraya is now an L. So I guess we'd better move the page, cause what the dub says goes... Souen no Kite 00:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? I've watched all the dubs so far each week, and I hear them say "Tawaraya". Even the Closed Captioning says it. Menzeeto 01:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * IIRC, the credits say "Tawaraya". Just because L and R sound similar in the English version, that doesn't mean the name changed. Kulaguy 02:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * L and R are pronounced the same in Japanese. But his official name uses the R. --CRtwenty 07:01, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

OK. It just sounds a lot like they are saying it with an L, nearly every time his name is said. I finally looked at the credits, and it is spelled with an R. So, I guess it's either my ears, or the fact that L and R are nearly the same in Japanese.Souen no Kite 16:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Even if L and R sound the same in Japanese, they're easily distinguishable in English. I'll admit that the only dubbed episode of Roots I've seen is the episode included with Reminisce, but Naobi clearly said Tawalaya, not Tawarya. I'm guessing that it's just a lack of communication between the department that translates the script and the department that does the Credits.
 * No, it's just the dubbing company. This is the same company who dubs Inuyasha. When you watch the show, you'll notice they call the cat "Kilala", yet spell her name as "Kirara". Kulaguy 23:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
