Having watched a lot of Japanese comedy/variety over the years, Sanma is most often referred to as "Sanma-san." It's part of his name, being referred to like that. One thing about Japanese honorifics is that they're not really analogous to Western "titles" like Mr., Mrs., or Ms. Many many translations end up getting the names wrong by simply doing a one-to-one-translation from honorific to title. Someone could be referred to as -san by an equal or subordinate, but as -kun or -chan by a different person, a higher-up or someone they know better/more intimately. It's not a title. It's a much more complex dynamic. As it is, "Sanma-san" is specifically his "character" name. SalvadorZombie (talk) 04:35, 2 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
