Talk:Japanese raccoon dog

Clarifying Lead Section

Should the middle paragraph of the lead section be cut out or modified because it does not directly show up later in the article, nor does it seem that important?Briannabryant2 (talk) 17:24, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Pokonyan

Can we include Pokonyan! in the popular culture? Aminabzz (talk) 18:09, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

'Tanuki' is a valid term in English as a loanword from Japanese.

'Raccoon Dog' is a poor name, they are not related to raccoons at all. By continuing to refer to them as 'Raccoon Dogs' just makes translators less accurate. 'Tanuki' as a loanword following English grammar rules, similar to 'Ninjas' and 'Samurais', makes 'Tanukis' also legitimate, 94.119.32.8 (talk) 00:04, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, what's weirder is the fact that the word "Tanuki" isn't explained in the article, and isn't even mentioned until randomly in the folklore section. This was very confusing as a reader, as I hadn't realized that they were the same thing. Someone should definitely correct this, or atleast specify that it's also called a Tanuki.

Tanuki from Little Kitty Big City

Would the game Little Kitty, Big City be well known enough for the portal inventor Tanuki to be included in the pop culture section? WiKiLOMETERS (talk) 16:23, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Mention depiction of scrotum under folklore?

Both the artistic depictions in the folklore section have the large scrotums which are mentioned in Bake-danuki article. Would it be appropriate to mention this here since they are a prominent feature in the images? 71.105.130.6 (talk) 14:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
