Talk:Tonbee

where did you get the japanese signsErnie1992 (talk) 16:00, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

and why tonbee and not tonbei like in the animeErnie1992 (talk) 16:03, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * The kanji for his name come from the ending credits and it is Tonbee and not Tonbei because, when written in kana, his name would be とんべえ and not とんべい. Tonbei is an incorrect romanisation. Yajirobee's name has the same ending. --ShounenSuki (talk 16:11, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

but also in the japanese subtitles his name is spelled TONBEI so TONBEI is the correct spelling
 * No it's not. We use literal translations. If we went by subtitles, tons of things would be different here. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:05, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be Tonbé due to the double "e"? Yatanogarasu 20:31, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Only if his name's furigana are written in katakana and with an ー or in Hiragana. But since I don't know the furigana, I can't give you an exact answer. Anyways, my translator also say it should be Tonbei. Seelentau 愛議 21:10, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Is Tonbee related to Hotaru, like her grandfather or uncle? Or is he just her guardian and keeper?--Black Ronin8 (talk) 23:27, August 26, 2012 (UTC) Btw, what does Tonbee's name mean?--Black Ronin8 (talk) 23:28, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

I think he is just a guardian to Hotaru, but I cannot anwser that second question. --Aeonophic (talk) 23:52, August 26, 2012 (UTC)Aeonophic
