I always wondered how japanese can take the manga seriously. I mean, if you tried to do that with names in english... "Hi, my name is Meow!" lol

Well, Technically my real name translates into "Green Cowspots" So I can't say much...

I'm just pointing out that is seems Japan has more of a tolerance for this kind of thing. If the american version of Naruto aired with the names translated, I seriously doubt it'd be as popular as it is.

Complete awesomeness! 'Tis an instant fave. Gaara means "I love death", "I love a demon", or, used in the actual anime, "the demon that loves only himself", from what I've researched.

Hinata means "toward the sun", "Kiba" is the sound effect used for knashing fangs, "Shino" is the sound effect used for skittering bugs, and Kakashi means "ScareCrow"!
