I don't know if this has been done already, and there have been threads about English names for PW game characters, but this one is dedicated exclusively to the PW manga characters. Choose any PW manga character and give it an English name; it has to have a pun or reflect their Japanese name in some way.

Here are a few of the names a friend and I cooked up for the PW manga characters (Names I had help with are in white):

Spoiler: Turnabout in the Wind
Suzune Kazama = Erin Chyme
  • Supposed to sound like "wind chime" (Yeah, it's lame)

Hikaru Shinjou = Lloyd Faith
  • Lloyd = to sound like loyal
  • Faith = Faithful
Spoiler: Turnabout Gallows
Jirou Kimura = Deuce Forester
  • Deuce = 2 in cards; also refers to being the younger brother.
  • "Forester" reflects the Japanese name meaning villiage of trees

Hatsurou Kimura = Ace Forester
  • As in an Ace card; he's the older brother

Akamune Komori = Redd Parker
  • Redd comes from his Japanese name meaning Red Breast (a type of spider)
  • [Peter] "Parker" is the main character in Spiderman

Sara Komori = Sarah Parker
  • Sara + H... what more can be said?
  • Sounds like Sarah Jessica Parker (just for kicks)

Himeko Komori = Mary Parker
  • Mary Jane, one of Peter's love interests and his wife in some continuities

Sasao Komori = Herman Parker
  • Supposed to sound like "hermit" -> Hermit = Recluse

Azuchi Yamashiro = Tarin Schuela
  • Tarantula
  • had to make it sound like a spider's name to reflect the Japanese name

EDIT: For Japanese names and their meanings, go to the PW Characters Page.

For the people who don't speak Japanese, could you please explain the meanings of the Japanese names?

They're explained succinctly on the PW Characters page in CR. Look under Manga Only Characters
