About Ponta
I'm just putting this information here until someone feels like making an article for Ponta.
Ponta is written as ポン太. This name is a stereotypical name to give to pet tanuki, a bit like Fido is for a dog or Mittens for a cat. It is also the name Saburō Kitajima used when he was part of the comical duo Gerupin Ponta Chinta (ゲルピンぽん太ちん太, literally meaning: Ponta and Chinta in need for Money). --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 23:09, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

The Word enka also means smoke so i got confused and thought there was a Enkagakure where killerbee was gonna go, and since his occupation is listed ans Enka ninja cant we put in the trivia section the that Enka nin can also translate to Smoke ninja--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 00:36, November 7, 2009 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan
- Actually, the concept of smoke is called kemuri (煙). The word you're talking actually refers to smoke and fumes (煙火, enka), as are produced by, for instance, cooking. This word can also mean beacon or fireworks. So no, Enka-nin cannot also be translated as Smoke ninja, even when ignoring the kanji.
- Besides, even if you were right about enka also meaning smoke, the evidence for it being relevant is to unsubstantial. The kanji used to write the word and the fact that Sabu is actually teaching Killer Bee how to sing enka strongly suggests that the musical meaning is the correct one. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 15:05, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
