I found out how some of the characters in mangas are kind of ridiculous. Dont the japanese even give a care about the names???

What do you mean? A lot of the times names have a hidden meaning behind them and they aren't always picked at random. The names are mostly Japanese anyway so I don't know how they're 'ridiculous'. Could you give some examples or better clarify what you're trying to get across?

ok
example: negi from negima means long onion
bleach: main character is called straberry
kuruma from yu yu means car and i cant think of any more examples at this time

In Bleach Ichigo doesn't mean strawberry... it means......... saviour or something, I'll find the proper translation laters ~

So? In English you have names like Dick and Bill. I really don't see your point.

Actually, in Yu Yu Hakusho, it is Kurama, not Kuruma. But yeah, who cares? A name is a name, regardless of the meaning. In Dragonball Z, we have a guy named Gohan (rice) as well, but when people talk about him as a person, they don`t think a bowl of rice. They think of the saijin.

Yeah ~ And Chi-chi (Gohan's wife, at least that was her name in the American verion) means "dad".

Chi-Chi is Goku's wife =P

Vegeta comes from vegetable
Raditz comes from raddish
Kakarot comes from carot
Brolli comes from broccoli

DBZ names are soooooo smart XD

carrot*

and you call yourself an english teacher :lol:

It&#39;s an alternate meaning, I do believe.

Well you look at it this way if you&#39;re saying that the names in anime Are funny
what do you think that think of your names?
"Frank?&#33; What in the #311 is that supose to mean? I think that name means Hot-dog&#33;"
Each name in Japan is picked just like yours or mine, not from a nose but from the heart.

see ya later
