Talk:List of Suzuka characters

Changes
This is a list of changes I made and why on March 15: (Duane543 21:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC))
 * Copied Yamato summary back to character list because that is were the summary should be and the main Yamato article should be detailed.(Left a comp of summary back in the main Yamato article as a place holder)
 * removed character subsections as per WikiProject: Anime & manga page which states: "Character names should always be in bold, and generally should not be divided into sub-sections as this makes the Table of Contents unnecessarily long."
 * Moved character's bios. around in the order of importance or introduction into the manga.


 * Biographies for characters originating from A Town Where You Live have been deleted, since the aforementioned page already contains the entries in full. There is no serious reason there should be duplication of content, even if it is a shared universe since the plots do not converge in any meaningful way. Jun Kayama (talk) 07:09, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Merge
I merged the character articles back here because they remained stub and for the most part only copies of the this page (Duane543 03:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC))

Kinugasa Tetsuhito （衣笠鉄人）
For the record, this character's name IS correct, please stop changing it to Tetsuo Kinugasu, and other combinations. Admittedly, the pronounciation of Tetsuhito instead of Tetsuo is unusual, but this IS what the author intended. The literal translation of Tetsuhito is "Iron Person" and is probably the author, Seo Kōji's attempt to describe this character. --fizzman 19:45, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The character name originates from Sachio Kinugasa of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team in Japan, who was nicknamed Tetsujin (same kanji as Tetsuhito, 鉄人) which was inpsired by Tetsujin 28-go. Seo Kouji names most of his characters after Imperial Japanese Navy warships, generals from Feudal Japan or the Meiji Period, various Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball players (Seo is a devout Hiroshima fan) and Japanese idol who are popular at the time. The nontraditional rendition of the name as Tetsuhito is solely to avoid the name being a blatant rip on the famous nickname of the real-life Hiroshima Carp infielder.

Tohto or Tokyo University
Suzuka has a fictional Seijo University written with different characters (西常大学) and Tohto (which is actually an intercollegiate federation of 21 universities in the Kanto region). See Tohto University Baseball League for clarification. Jun Kayama (talk) 07:34, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
