Romanization
According to Template:Media link, ハナチャン appears to be officially romanized with a hyphen, as Hana-chan. I don't think this is to split the word across lines, as in the full deck, other names such as Nokonoko are split without a hyphen. This would make the proper article name "Kyodai Hana-chan", right?

- There are other cases where it's not hyphenated, so a deck of cards isn't worth changing it over. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:22, July 28, 2019 (EDT)
Should just be changed to "Giant Wiggler"
