I can't figure out how to make the footnotes work automatically. Can someone fix it up for me? Stephen Aquila 03:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that this article be updated for the lack of articles. As noted by the most definitive sources on the origin, the Billiken is refered to with "the" and "a", marking that the Billiken is not treated like a singular being but a type of character. Quippe 05:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trademark/Copyright

Article says the Billiken doll was the first copyrighted doll. I suspect that the term 'trademarked' is meant here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.153.241.162 (talk) 20:04, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know of no proof that the billiken was named after William Howard Taft, and would like to know where this idea comes from. There were little statues called "Billy Can" and Billy Can't" that sat on toilet seats, and it makes the most sense that the word "billiken" is derived from Billy Can, and the posture of the billiken is adapted from the Billy Can sitting on the toilet, smiling proudly... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weisner (talk • contribs) 17:50, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ranma vs. Billiken

I have deleted the mention to the Ranma movie. Is not significative, as many other mangas/animes with the Seven Gods did not talk about Billiken, too. --213.37.241.232 (talk) 16:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A strange error

When the park closed in 2018, the wooden statue of the Billiken went missing.
