| Sep 27, 2017 at 9:23 | comment | added | Mast | Even in shows requiring names, like "Once upon a time", the evil queen of Snow White is called Regina. Which is Latin for "Queen". Snow White herself is called Mary Margaret Blanchard, where Blanchard is derived from Blanche, French for "White". | |

Plenty of people give names to their children or adopt names, which wouldn't be recognized as a "real" name. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet". | |

| Sep 26, 2017 at 18:13 | comment | added | R.M. | "Maybe Disney didn't think the eastern names were that easy to memorize by western audiences?" -- Or they thought they didn't need names. For example, the Evil Queen in Snow White is never named in the movie, nor is the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. -- A fair number of even somewhat significant characters in Disney films aren't given actual names. | |

| Sep 26, 2017 at 15:17 | comment | added | JAB | @JohnP That's still a Chinese bird having a Japanese name. | |
| Sep 26, 2017 at 15:16 | comment | added | JohnP | @JAB - No no, it's named after the Suzuki sportbike. :p | |
| Sep 26, 2017 at 13:48 | comment | added | JAB | So his falcon is named the Japanese word for falcon? | |
| Sep 26, 2017 at 13:34 | comment | added | Thomas | @Memor-X I believe you, but I would like to explain that is it a joke about how Disney / Kingdom Hearts tries to avoid real world locations to keep the illusion up better. I believe that even the Big Ben is never mentioned to be in London. | |
| Sep 26, 2017 at 12:41 | comment | added | Memor-X | @ThomasMoors yet i do recall both Mulan and The Emperor call it China as in the first half of it the Emrpror says Mulan saved China and one of Mulan's battle quotes is "For China!". don't forget also that in the second game both Halloween and Christmas Towns world is just called Halloween Town, despite the fact that in theory Sora could travel to the other Holiday Towns since their doors are there | |

"He appears in "Kingdom Hearts II". There, he tries to use the Heartless to take over China" No no, China does not exist in Kingdom Hearts, you mean The Land of Dragons
