by July 28 is Naniwa Day.
It is an anniversary established by Naniwa Ward, Osaka City, which is derived from the puns of “na (7) to (2) WA (8)”.
Characters that speak in a dialect used in a particular region often appear in anime and games. The characters speak various dialects, including the Kansai dialect, which is familiar in comics and variety shows. Dialect characters with words and accents different from the standard language will enrich the work.
Anime there! Animation! Then, we conducted a reader survey entitled “What is a” dialect “character?” We received responses from 663 people during the survey period from July 12 to July 19.
The male-female ratio is about 30% for males and 70% for females. About 70% of the age group was 19 or younger, and about 15% were in their 20s.
Kansai dialect characters are one-two!
- Heiji Hattori from “Detective Conan.” The approval rating was about 12 percent.
“Because he’s a high school detective in the west, his Kansai dialect is impressive. The episode where he spotted the culprit from the difference between standard Japanese and Kansai dialect was interesting.” The two of us often fight, but when it comes down to “What are you doing to me, Kazuha!!! Even effective yelling is gaining popularity. “The image of Kansai dialect is strong, but English is also native-level beautiful pronunciation,” said a great detective who is good at English.
- Hypnosismic -Division Rap Battle-. The approval rating was about 8%.
Binzasara Binzasara is the leader of the Osaka Division’s representative, Dodare Honpo. “He uses the Kansai dialect daily, and calls the words of Tokyo’ Kanto dialect,’ which makes me feel like an ‘Osaka’ character!” “The voice actor, Ryota Iwasaki, is also from Osaka, so the vibe is Osaka! Even in the song, he rhymes with dialects and old man gags, and I love it because it’s full of Osaka feeling.” Characters to do are at the top.
3.goes to Tatsuma Sakamoto from “Gintama.” The approval rating was about 6%.
Tatsuma Sakamoto, the president of the relief team, is a person who skillfully manipulates the Tosa dialect. “The “zeyo” at the end of the sentence has a strong impact, and the way he laughs is lively and funny.” “Because of his lively Tosa dialect, even the adjutant, Mutsu-chan, is affected. He has influenced me and uses it occasionally (laughs).” ”You can tell from his speech that he doesn’t care about the details.’
We are introducing other comments!
For Sakura Minamoto from “Zombie Land Saga,” “Idol who speaks Karatsu dialect, which is located in the northern part of Saga dialect. It was cute how he was confused and said, ‘Doyansu, doyansu’ in the sense of ‘what should I do?'”.
To Ryunosuke Juryuu from “Idolish7”, “I like the Uchinaaguchi (Okinawan language) that comes out when I’m drunk or angry. I don’t see subtitles, so I always only understand half of what it means.”
For Lum from “Urusei Yatsura,” “The suffix ‘daccha’ is very famous. It sounds like a Sendai dialect, but in the case of Lum-chan, it would be better to call it Lamb.”
For Shoukichi Naruko from “Yowamushi Pedal,” “Even though he already stands out when he has red hair and double teeth, he’s the only Kansai dialect on the team! also had votes.
In this questionnaire, the Kansai dialect character stands out. Another feature is that there are few main characters and many characters in rival and villainous positions.
