EVERY Katamari Cousin Name Explained! | Gnoggin

[@mattwo7]

@Jared Sabatelli The difference is that Japanese comedy can get away with being disturbing through abstraction (see also: Bob Team Epic) while hentai has to have at least one character who is _at least_ realistically (albeit idealistically) anthropomorphic, if not human. Even that one hentai I heard about where a guy has coitus with a doorknob anthropomorphizes the doorknob before the coitus is preformed.

I think he was intentionally making a reference to one of the games. In one of the titles (I think it's "We Love Katamari" but I'm not sure) every time you unlock a cousin the King will describe them and then follow up each time with "how disturbing".

Nick could also come from niku, the Japanese word for meat. The "mi" in Miki, in addition to meaning beauty, can also mean three or third.

[@KokoGogo1728]

Doesn't "san" mean "3"?

Not to be horribly rude but Lockstin's personal health is not really something any of us should discuss willy nilly. If he references it or cracks a joke about it, well alright.

Ohh, this is such a fun video! It's so rare to see these sorts of videos (or anything really) for Katamari, and this was such a good watch! Some of these have stumped me for a while, I honestly didn't know about Opeo at all! There's a couple of name changes/details that I didn't see covered, so I thought I'd just bring them up because trivia is fun! Daisy- Horumon, either from a Japanese loan of 'hormone,' which is sometimes put into cow's milk, or from 'horumonyaki,' which is a Japanese dish made from beef offal Huey- Literally just 'Y,' I assume for his shape Lucha- Fukumen, meaning 'mask,' since he's a masked wrestler Macho- Gatsu, or 'guts' I assume in the sense of being strong and determined Twinkle- Subaru, which in Japanese refers to the Pleiades star cluster Velvet also makes a bit of a pun in the original Japanese, since it's pronounced 'berubetto' with 'beru' also being the pronunciation for 'bell,' possibly because of her sort of bell-shaped torso.
