Talk:Sarugami

Name
Honestly, I had never even noticed this article on the wiki before. Is Sarugami actually his name? Or is it a translation of "Monkey God"? Monkey God might be a better name for this article, but if Sarugami is actually accurate then I don't really have a problem with it. Also, I can't remember, but he's a yōkai, right?

 * Yes, this is the Japanese translation of "monkey god." I'm sure this is what they called him in the Japanese version, but whether or not that's what we call him is not really a matter of policy, just a matter of preference. We call things by their original Japanese name in certain circumstances, depending on what is more widespread or common in the fan community. He's a minor character, so I'm not sure if that's the case. Also, he is in fact a monkey god, not a yōkai.--Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 03:39, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Well I'll defer to you on this one Suzaku on whether or not we change it; I could go either way on it, it's obviously the Monkey God whenever you view the article. But as you say, he's a minor character, so I don't know if "Sarugami" is that well known of a name in the English speaking community, such as Shikon no Tama or Kaze no Kizu.
