Talk:Genzo

Really? You sure? Maybe it's just because of Kaizoku Fansubs, then...

Nami and Nojiko, as well as several others call Genzo "Gen-san". I hardly hear the name "Genzo" in the original.

 * It's a nickname for him. His name is Genzo, some people shorten it to Gen as a nickname, then the -san ending is a polite suffix thingy in Japanese. --Murasaki 13:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Ohh, I see. Thanks. Maybe we should add that part in, in case some people were confused like me?

 * In a way I guess its kinda like the Hatchan/Hatchi thing. One-Winged Hawk 14:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, except in that case there was confusion because people thought that -chan was a suffix, and it isn't. In this case, it really is just the normal suffix. The only thing that makes Gen-san any different from Iceburg-san, Tom-san, Porche-chan, or Bellemere-san is the fact that his name is shortened for it... If you think a note would help, go ahead and add one, but I think we might benefit more if I (or someone else with knowledge of Japanese) were to write up something explaining various suffixes (-chan, -kun, -san, -gou, don't think any others are really used much in OP...) --Murasaki 23:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
