Talk:Dan Katō

Rank
Can someone confirm his rank as Chunin? I'm a little skeptical. --Dubtiger 19:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Second infobox in the second naruto databook "Age at graduation 10 Age at promotion to Chuunin ?". I've got a few resources for the databooks at Forum:Resources. This one was from MangaHelpers - Flunko - Databook 2 - page 103 Dan. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Mar 28, 2008 @ 05:18 (UTC)

Death
wasn't the war in which Dan was killed was the second great shinobi war? i don't know, but its article suggests it. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Great_Shinobi_War
 * where was it confrimed that he has an unnamed sister? http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:KiumaruHamachi KiumaruHamachi
 * Databook, click the link dantman provided.. and look for "I often took this path to pick my sister up from the Ninja Academy. " Simant (talk) 20:16, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Reference?
Dan mentions have a ghost transformation technique, may I note that this is a coincidential, but possible referance to cartoon character Danny Phantom? It would probably go in the trivia section
 * Very unlikely imo. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:28, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * He never actually called it Ghost Transformation Technique.
 * We have no idea what the technique does, so it might be nothing like what it sounds.
 * I don't think Danny Phantom is even aired in Japan.

 * Just a question, how was that connection even made?  ~ Fmakck© → Talk → Contributions ~ 18:47, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Similar character names (Daniel/Dan), seemingly similar skills (human-ghost hybrid/technique which implies transformation into a ghost). Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:26, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I see the "resemblance" now, but I still don't agree.  ~ Fmakck© → Talk → Contributions ~ 19:28, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not outright saying its a tribute, as I noted in my first comment, a coincidential thing
 * While I'll admit that when I first saw him say Spirit Transformation Technique the first thing I though was "he's going ghost" but it's highly unlikely that Kishimoto based him off Danny Phantom. --Cerez☺ (talk) 12:35, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * It would be cool though, I loved that show when I was younger.  ~ Fmakck© → Talk → Contributions ~ 14:00, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
