Name

How can we be sure it is Sumo King instead of Smoking? I mean, the reading of "スモーキング・ドッグ" is "sumokingu dogu", and only the words "sumokingu" and "dog" are separated (with the "・"), instead of "sumo kingu dogu". The sound of "sumokingu" can be understood like both "Sumo King" or "Smoking", but I'd say it is "Smoking" due to what I just said. But I don't speak Japanese fluently, so just to be sure.

III is fluent in Japanese. If he says it should be "Sumo King", I believe him. For what it's worth the site I got the original translation from did list both names, I used "Smoking" only because it was the first option listed. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:21, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

"スモーキング" is definitely the katakana spelling of "smoking" (examples: http://kotobank.jp/word/スモーキング and wikipedia:ja:サンキュー・スモーキング). "スモー" and "キング" can also mean "sumo" and "king". But how do we know where the middots (・) are used? Is the name of the card visible anywhere or is it just based on the audio? If we don't know, it could just be down to context; does the dog look more like a "Sumo King" or something related to smoke? -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:27, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

That makes sense. This seems to be the only picture of the card we have, and the name cannot be read. So, the name probably was gotten simply from the audio. I didn't think on that. In this case, the card looks more like a Sumo King than a Smoking Dog. Then, the name should be fixed. Can I do that? LegenaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) January 17th, 2012, 20:38 (UTC)

There is no middots between "スモー" and "キング". I haven't watch the episode yet, so I can't say "Smoking" or "Sumo King" fit the card better. Blackwings0605 (talk) 01:43, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

This card has been the motif of Tosa Tōken.

The Tosa Tōken is like Sumo Yokozuna, Ozeki, and given a ranking list.

Moreover, like the Sumo wrestler "Keshō-mawashi" Put on.

The illustration "Keshō-mawashi" depicted in "王" represents a king. -- III (talk • contribs) 18:02, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
