TML 18 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 I have noticed that Takagi's name in Japanese is not always depicted in a consistent manner. For example, in episode 401, when Takagi shows his badge, we see his name given as "高木 渉" (with his given name in Kanji), but in other episodes (for example, episodes 146 & 535), we see it given as "高木 ワタル" (with his given name in Katakana). Can anyone explain this discrepancy to me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misaki-chan 164 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 Maybe the animators forgot what kanji they used and also which episode they used it in, so they decided to use katakana... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
