Vhargon: In the original anime, Ash's name is Satoshi, and Dawn's is Hikari.
You didn't honestly think the Japanese would make characters named Ash, Dawn, Misty, Brock, etc., did you? It was all Americanized when it was translated.
Anonymous3: @MeRMental, actually yea it is, if the literal translation is "Dawn" then it is the same as calling her dawn, cause that is her name in that particular language.
Anonymous4: HERP DERP WORDS THAT MEAN THE SAME IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES ARE NOT THE SAME THEMATICALLY EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE HERP DERP JAPANESE IS SO MUCH BETTER THEN ENGLISH BECAUSE I WASN'T RAISED JAPANESE HERP DERP I'M A GIGANTIC WEEABOO FAGGOT HERP FUCKING DERP
Anonymous11: Regardless of language, while other terms and phrases are translated, names remain the same, though I imagine Japanese would be put into the Alphabet and English would be translated into Kanji for writing purposes. For example. If your pet was named something like "Blue" and you talked to a French person about your pet. You wouldn't translate "Blue" into french unless actually talking about the colour. Having said that, I don't give a hoot what they call them in Porkyman, they've been doin' this for years and 4kids fucked them up big time.

yeah, afterall, calling someone an asshole in japanese doesnt mean you're really calling them an asshole, ya know?
seriously, are you stupid?
if its translates to dawn... ITS THE SAME AS CALLING HER "DAWN"!
to the japanese "hikari" sounds like "dawn" im pretty sure, cause thats what the word means... you know what, i dont have time to explain to idiots, forget it.

I may be jerking off to anime porn, but you are the king of the weeaboos. Jesus Christ, arguing translations of a fucking name? Just jerk off like the rest of us and shut the fuck up.
You know WHY calling someone "Hikari" isn't the same as calling them "Dawn"? Because ONE IS JAPANESE, THE OTHER IS FUCKING ENGLISH. It's not that difficult to understand. It doesn't matter what the words MEAN, in Japan she isn't called "Dawn".
Way to completely miss the point just to be assholes over the Internet, Anon.
Anonymous17: Lol ... Believe it or not, Anon. 17 has a really good point either way you look at it. Just because she's called "Dawn" in our language, doesn't mean that she's also called "Dawn" in Jap. her name is "Hikari" in THEIR language, it's just what Hikari translates to in OUR language. Now everyone STFU and fap away!
