The Samurai Pizza Cats in MANGA MANIA magazine

The UK publication Manga Mania magazine. If you're a fan of the Samurai Pizza Cats, you could do worse than to pick up the Manga Mania July/August '98 issue (#46). There's a nice article on SPC. Here are some of the things I learned from the magazine (things I hadn't found anywhere else on the 'net):

WARNING: I hope the writer of this article got his information from somewhere reliable!


The Japanese name of the Cats' fighting team is Ninja Team Nyankii! Cute, eh?
Ah - this is also stated on Pzario's KNT page, although the spelling is slightly different.

The Japanese name of the Supreme Catatonic (in giant robot mode) is Nyago-King! In untransformed mode it's called the Nyago-Sphinx.

Meowsma's surname is apparently O'Tool ... is this mentioned anywhere else?
Yes. On Princess Vi's page. It's from the toys ...

And apparently Big Al's surname is spelled Dentei ... the "i" adds a little Japanese feeling, I suppose ... and any way you spell it, it's still better than his KNT name, Wanko-No-Kami!

Emperor Fred's first name in KNT is Iei-Iei!

The Bad Guys are collectively known in KNT as Kara-kara Company! The Ninja Crows are called Karamasu Ninjas, "Karamasu" meaning "Crow" - deep, eh?

The "Yard Bird" (that ostrich-like thing that shows up every now and again) is called Choina! (I know -- no-one cares, but what the hey!)

Now ... I've seen some SPC pages which list Guru Lou's KNT name correctly, but I've also seen some that sort of don't. So here it is in full: Professor Reikainosuke Nekomata.

KNT ran 54 episdoes ... SPC was 52 ... anyone know what happened to the missing two?

And now ... the Japanese names of the Rude Noise!
First of all, this band of evil-doers calls themselves the Dark Quartet. And the names given in the article for the members (in Japanese and English):

Zanka/Bad Max
Rekka/Mojo Rojo
Uokka/Ronny Guisbolla
Bonka/Cannonball Battery

So ... a couple of those English names are not exactly what we hear when they introduce themselves, huh? Oh, well.
