[edit] Raikou and Raijou?

In the animated version of Cardcaptor Sakura, in the dub, I remember a scene where Sakura and Li are fighting Thunder, and Li says something like "That's Raijou, the Thunder Beast!" Is the name similarity incidental, especially with the similar forms the two beasts take?

No coincidence. I'm fairly sure the names have common root words in Japanese. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 18:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but why not look further into this and add it to the page itself?! Oh, that does remind me, though...I need to go back and join the PCP officially again, do I not? Niki Whimbrel 18:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Rai means thunder/elec in japan, so no surprise there. :) Toastypk 22:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Noseplate thing

That doesn't sound very encyclopediac, does it? Kirbyrocks 19:23, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About the meaning of rai and kou

I am pretty sure that in japanese, the kanji of raikou is 雷公, meaning thunder lord. Rai is the romanji of 雷 and it means thunder. Kou means 公, meaning lord. I don't know who edit that 侯, but it is wrong. I am a chinese and I know much about the kanji so I am sure about it. --Lugiadoom 03:52, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Raikoh

Why does Raikoh redirect to Raikou? That makes no sense. Raikoh is in some Japanese mythology.

[edit] Category

It's under both Category:Fictional cats and Category:Fictional dogs. Which is it? -- ~PinkDeoxys~ 16:23, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Now it's under neither. And until someone shows an official source saying what they are, it will stay that way. -Amarkov ^babble 13:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
