Talk:Ultraman Taro (character)/@comment-6532857-20150218173127

As well as I can translate Wikipedia Japan, it seems Taro was almost named Jack, because the west has a fairy tale hero named Jack, and Jack is a common name in Western fairy tales. (The Giant Killer.) Taro was settled on as the Japanese equivalent.

I'm not sure if I'm translating this right, because there's already an Ultraman Jack.
