* "Nyan" is an example of Japanese readings highly approximating to Chinese readings, more than [[wikipedia:On'yomi|on'yomi]], because the word 娘 is read in Chinese as "niáng" ("niáng" means "Miss" and "niáng niáng" means "lady"). Interestingly, "nyan" is reminiscent of Japanesse words of animal sounds, that is the "meow" of cats in this case. So is the word 王 (''ō'', "king") which can be read as "wan", that sounds like dogs' bark. Other Chinese-style-read Japanese words have been known so far in Yu-Gi-Oh! are "kyonshī" as in "[[Master Kyonshee]]", "shaoron" as in "[[Stardust Xiaolong]]", "wangfū" as in "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]" and "shin tsen fū" as in "[[Xing Zhen Hu]]" and "[[Xing Zhen Hu Replica]]".
