    		In case you are talking about the character "Ein?"

    His name is a pun on the Japanese word for "dog" (inu) but is also German for "one" (possibly because he is the only dog featured in the show, or because he is the first new character to be added to the series). 'Ein' may also be short for 'Einstein', after Albert Einstein, because of the extraordinary intelligence he expresses. It should also be noted, however, that "ein" is also Japanese for the perineum, but this epithet is highly doubtful.

    I've observed a number of cases in which a Japanese word spelled with an *r* is pronounced in English translations with an *l* sound. I have been told that this is because *r* is pronounced *l*, and I have also been told that Japanese has no *l* sound. What is going on then?

    What is the English translation of the Japanese word 'Nintendo'?
