Talk:Kawaki

two piercings
When i look at the image i vaguely see two on his eyebrow. Anyone else? Munchvtec (talk) 05:23, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ditto.--Sarutobii2 (talk) 15:09, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * As for me, this doesn't actually look like a piercing. What's also noticeable, Kawaki is seemingly wearing some kind of earrings akin to those of Team Asuma. Ravenlot 27 (talk) 15:14, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there are two studs indeed. @Ravenlot: Look up "eyebrow rings".--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 15:17, May 7, 2016 (UTC)

Japanese Voice Actors
Don't know we his name? --Sharingan91 (talk) 18:10, April 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately he wasn't listed in the credits. — Shakhmoot Nadeshiko Village Symbol.svg (Talk) 18:11, April 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok.--Sharingan91 (talk) 18:18, April 8, 2017 (UTC)

Video
What the fuck even. Is there no way to fix ones like this? Munchvtec (talk) 04:57, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * I hope so, that video is inappropriate. I love speculation and fanon but it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia wiki, and definitely not in an article video like this. If that kind of content was entered into the article by a regular editor, it would be quickly removed. Anyone know which staffer made it? For anyone who has concerns about the video content, you can contact staff directly at Special:Contact/general to request changes and improvements, and hopefully to make them stop vandalizing our wikis like this. -- KylaraE (talk) 05:52, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * I contacted Staff and I just heard back. The video is still up as I write this, but they said that they would remove it. Nice to see that Staff can still be reasoned with. -- KylaraE (talk) 17:19, September 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * A fan video in a fandom wiki. Shocker. • Seelentau 愛 議 17:35, September 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * Too bad it's against TOU to hide such things with css. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:48, September 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * Annnd, it remains! Munchvtec (talk) 22:53, September 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * It's gone. Followed up on the status and Jen had it removed. -- KylaraE (talk) 00:52, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated. Munchvtec (talk) 01:41, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe it's wikia advertisements, not really something uploaded to the articles themselves.--Elve Talk Page 14:46, October 17, 2017 (UTC)

Age or Mistaken?
I may be mistaken but I think this model sheet lists his age as 16. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 08:49, March 26, 2018 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
 * You are. • Seelentau 愛 議 09:20, March 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * To clarify, it's comparing his height to "Boruto Age 16." FF-Suzaku (talk) 15:43, June 2, 2018 (UTC)

Adopted by the Uzumakis
Is it possible for Kawaki to have been fostered by the Uzumakis? We've already have Boruto addressing him as Brother in the latest chapter. AnonymousAnomani (talk) 18:25, June 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Him calling Kawaki brother is more like a support thing than any sort of legal statement. Until they mention such formal proceedings in anyway, he's not fostered or adopted or anything else. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:19, June 13, 2019 (UTC)

Occupation
It says Inner, but thats not true at all. should be changed to Vessel.RexGodwin (talk) 15:00, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Is Vessel really an occupation though? Munchvtec (talk) 19:24, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Maybe not but he certainly isnt an Inner.RexGodwin (talk) 22:41, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The field could probably be left empty. Occupation is more something one does rather than what one is. I think someone added Inner because his facial numeral tattoo. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:31, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Names and info from the new V Jump article for Shinobi Strikers

 * - The name for Kawaki's karma absorption ability. Akujiki literally means "evil eating" or "bad food" and refers to eating food that you're not supposed to eat, whether rotten or taboo. Official Bandai Namco translation is "Karma Linchpin (Strange Taste)."


 * - The name for the ability where Kawaki releases a red energy blast from his Karma, like the one he used to kill Garō. Metsushiki literally means "ruin ceremony" or "destruction ritual." Official Bandai Namco translation is "Karma Linchpin (Ritual Destruction)."


 * - The name of the attack where Kawaki rushes at his opponent and transforms his right arm into a blade to slash them. Gekirin literally means "reverse scale," referring the inverted scales on a dragon that cause irritation, causing it to go into a rage and kill whoever touched them. Figuratively it means "imperial wrath," referring to the rage of a ruler or superior.


 * - The name of the knuckle knife-shaped blades that Kawaki rips off of his transformed arm. Kōrin literally means "armor scales" or "shell scales."


 * - The name of the knife-shaped shards of shrapnel from Kawaki's transformed arm that he uses as projectiles. "Rinhen" literally means "scale fragment" or simply "scale," referring to individual scales from a scaled animal.

His two Karma abilities both evoke a vaguely religious tone, referring to eating taboo foods and performing a ceremony of destruction. His Scientific Ninja Tool attack and derived tools make heavy use of the word "scale" (鱗, "rin"). The "Armor Scales" and "Scale Fragments" are both also classified as Scientific Ninja Tools, being created from. FF-Suzaku (talk) 20:12, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * From the little I know of the game, some of those might actually just be tools instead of proper attacks, based on what I've seen of how stuff gets listed in the DLC section of the game's official site. Kawaki's profile hasn't been added yet though. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:59, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
