Yes, well, you need to cite your sources, especially since "fan websites" are not a valid source (see: The Daijiten). Just as an English name I add would have to be sourced even though I'm American, Japanese names you add need citations.

The wiki has had problem with people moving pages to fake "official names", and it's worse with foreign language names because we routinely get idiots that don't post the name in the actual foreign language script, but rather run the english name through Google translate. Providing a citation is not strictly necessary for things where the name is provided ingame in a standardized fashion (ie: Mario Kart karts and parts), but having a citation is always preferrable, and just saying something is "from a guide" without posting the full source is no longer acceptable. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 18:38, 15 May 2015 (EDT) | |||

Japanese names
I'd like to know, where are you getting these Japanese names from? Binarystep (talk) 07:25, 15 May 2015 (EDT)
Well I am Japanese so I know such characters' names in Japanese. They are found in-games, in manuals, both fan and official websites, and guides. An extremely simple logic.
