Manga, Anime, and the World
People know and love Japanese anime. One reason for its success is the adjustments that were made for viewers overseas. These are the titles, characters, and content.

Manga and anime titles are originally in Japanese. Some, like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, are translated literally into English. Others, however, are not. For example, Seinto Seiya is translated into Knights of the Zodiac, a title that relates to the whole story. This made it more attractive to viewers in foreign countries.

Characters’ names are changed in manga and anime that are mainly made for children. It is difficult for children to remember unfamiliar names. With familiar names, children can focus on the story. One example is Satoshi in Pokémon. His name is translated into Ash in English. The name Ash uses three letters from S-a-t-o-s-h-i.
