Talk:Clans

Dupe clan
Kedōin clan appears twice, once in the filler section, where it belongs, and once in the main section, where it doesn't. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:01, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Game-only clans
Right now, game-only clans are listed along with manga/anime ones, while anime-only clans are listed separately. Perhaps there should be a "Game-only clans" section as well? Also, Kubisaki Caln should be among the anime-only clans. --kiadony --talk to me-- 08:12, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I came here to raise this point. It seems odd that the video game exclusive clans are mentioned alongside ones that originate from the manga itself. Surely they should either be with the anime ones or in their own section.--210.56.81.194 (talk) 06:04, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

一族　VS　氏
Why are the clans in Naruto called ichizoku (一族) instead of shi (氏)? Samurai clans of the sengoku jidai were called with shi not ichizoku, ie: 徳川氏 not 徳川一族. Can anyone explain this to me? 一族 means family/tribe while 氏 means family name/surname/clan. Then why do we translate (日向一族) Hyuuga Clan instead of Hyuuga Family? Shouldn't Hyuuga Clan be (日向氏)? Thanks for answering.Starship Troopers (talk) 07:33, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

The reason for translating 日向一族 as Hyuuga Clan would be because they are a clan of related families, not just one family, the clans are called ichizoku because thats what the writer decided to use for whatever reason, don't know Japanese so can't answer those questions.--TricksterKing (talk) 09:42, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
