Piro[edit]

I think this was brought up once before on the main article. Piro the cat and Piro from Megatokyo have no real connection besides having Piro from Megatokyo named after the cat because one of the creators is a Kanon fan. If you want, say it on the Megatokyo article about the origins of Piro's name, but I don't think it has any bearing to Kanon.--(十八|talk) 21:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As I said on the main article talk page, it might help asserting the place of Kanon in popular culture. As an example, if placed in this article here, it would be the only piece of (out-of-universe) encyclopeic information. Now I respect the work that you've put in both these articles, and if you don't want it I'm happy to leave it in the talk pages for when comprehensivity will be required (GAC, FAC). --SidiLemine 11:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yuichi's romanized name[edit]

This discussion is taken from Talk:Kanon:

Yuuichi vs Yūichi[edit]

Hmph. I've been a Kanon fan for a long time now and this is the first time I've ever seen "Yūichi" used instead of "Yuuichi" for the protagonist's name. Fansubbers and game translators don't use that spelling, either. And I've read this article in the past. I'm sure it was "Yuuichi" then. I'd better check the article on Air. Maybe "Yukito" has been changed to "Yūkito." After all, they're both long ū's. :-) Blah, seiyuu redirects to seiyū. Am I wrong? Or are yū? Richard 23 06:00, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has a convention found at WP:MOS-JP where the form of romanization used is Revised Hepburn romanization. There is a sentence on that page which states:

For transliterations from kanji and hiragana, long o and u are written with macrons as ō and ū respectively.

It's just a Wikipedia thing, though really they mean the same thing, just written two different ways.--(十八|talk) 06:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)#Romanisation. The part where it is stated Macrons should be used in all cases outside of those specifically mentioned below. --Squilibob 06:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bah, Edit conflict... yeah what Juhachi said. :) --Squilibob 06:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did a bit of searching and it seems that it's officially...neither :P It's "Yuichi" as written in English in the artbook. I don't have enough pages to view the full scan, but you can just barely make it out here. I'll go ahead and adject the page to reflect.--SeizureDog 07:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, wouldn't have guessed that outcome. I already changed the Yuichi's on List of Kanon characters and List of Kanon episodes to reflect the change; glad we got that all taken care of.--(十八|talk) 10:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Yukito's name in Air wouldn't have a macron anyway-- it wasn't a "long" u, in the Japanese romanization sense. Magus Melchior 06:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So please, do not revert Yuichi's name.--(十八) 02:25, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding some things in the original game[edit]

I don't want to sound like a perv, but since it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere, I guess I'll have to be the one to bring this up. The articles for Nayuki and Makoto specify, at the relevant places in the description of the plot, "in the original visual novel, this is when (character)'s H-scene could be viewed." However, the articles for Ayu, Shiori, and Mai all lack this bit of info. I haven't played the game (and I wouldn't want to play the H-version anyway), so I can't particularly help; thus, does anyone have any idea when the H-scenes for Ayu, Shiori, and Mai took place, so that this info can be added to the articles? It really makes little sense to only mention this for two of the characters.--Tally Solleni 05:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that's because (so far) no one has come around to add in where they took place. It's not intentional mind you, just that where the H scenes for the other three took place is not currently known to the editors who have contributed to the separate character articles.--十八 07:40, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merging of separate character articles[edit]

I am going to merge all but Ayu Tsukimiya into this article since the ones I am merging have no out-of-universe information, or secondary sources to support the creation of such articles, and they only contain plot summary.--十八 23:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sayuri tried to slit her wrist?[edit]

In the Kyoto Animation version of Kanon, during the scene where Sayuri is telling Kyon about herself, it looks like Sayuri hides some sort of scar on her left wrist from sight, about 15 minutes into Episode 14. What do we know about this? Flameoftheabyss 04:21, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure, but I think she may have attempted to kill herself, and then Mai was able to save her life with her power. Why she wanted to kill herself? It was probably due to the depression caused by her brother's death. In the end, we really need someone who played the game, assuming that it was in the original game to begin with; again, I'm not entirely sure.--十八 05:01, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sayuri, Mai, and the Yuri Scene[edit]

Where exactly did Yuuichi fanatasize about this occuring in the game? I have the CG and its pretty significant but I can't find out where it was...--71.105.26.163 (talk) 00:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup nom[edit]

Not to quibble about the lack of reference, since I can sympathize for such a work, but the sections for separate characters are too long that I just lost patience reading about Yūichi. Please, please shorten the article. --Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 02:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get right on it.--十八 02:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I managed to remove 22KB from the page, though Mai's is still kind of long. Should more be removed, or is this enough?--十八 03:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you may as well shorten Makoto and Shiori.--Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 03:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought so too, though their stories are a bit more intricate, especially Mai's.--十八 04:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Ayu Tsukimiya[edit]

Satou Akemi[edit]

Why does Akemi Satō (voice actress)redirect here if they don't have an article on the English wiki? It's a little misleading, because it's just a mention of a character she voices and nothing to do with the actual actress. 131.191.95.56 (talk) 04:52, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
