An adorable revelation

[xaq_the_aereon]

A little while ago, I found myself a bit curious as to the decision behind the names of Miru and Kaku, the adorable little science experiments/mascot characters.

After a bit of research, I found out what their names translated to:
Miru: Look for
Kaku: Hide

Ryuuji named them Hide and Seek. The rest of the lab wanted to get rid of them...and he gave them names based on a children's game.

In a weird(beaks) way, that's rather touching.

Hah, that's beautiful :)

Awww. :3 I initially thought it was something based off 'Merry Christmas', Miru being a kind of mangled diminutive of 'merry' and Kaku the same with Christmas. But that's even more adorable. :)

"Merry Christmas" in Japanese is merikuri, so I thought it was a corruption of that, as well.

This is so much better. :3

Miru and Kaku are the best.

Ryuuji is the best.

I'm biased toward the characters I voice and I don't even care.

same. I'm considering opening a Tumblr account called 800vitalitygirl for all my pidging needs because I just see so much of myself in Hiyoko.

Yes.

That's what I thought at first, too, but this is way better. :D

Mister Moon is playing Hide and Seek with Hide and Seek!

I thought it was an interesting parallel that they were seeking trees and then hiding them.
