What's Chaud's real name?

In some pages, I've read that his name is Eugene Chaud.

In others an in Megaman NT Warrior, he's called Chaud Blaze.

What's really his name?

His name in the game version is Eugene Chaud. In the anime nt warrior version, it is Chaud Blaze. In the original Japanese version, it is Ijuin Enzan.

Also keeping in mind that in Japanese, the given name always comes after the surname.

Gah, I hate it when people give names in the Japanese format even when discussing in english. It makes things way too confusing. It's Enzan Ijuin dangit! When you're speaking english it's given name first, family name last, I don't care about the nationality of the guy who's name it is. It's not direct translation, but it's still an important part of translation.

His name varies with whatever language you are using to translate his name.

I think "Eugene" was only ever mentioned in the first game, and then they switched translating teams, so there;s a chance they may have "forgotten" by now. I wouldn't put it past Capcom to create inconsistencies. Though for now it's easy to see "Chaud" as his last name. People call others by their last names all the time, sometimes for people they don't like, or their inferiors, or sometimes as buddies.

That and some people who are ashamed or embarassed by their given name will often want to be addressed by their last name. I bet that's the case with Chaud. If I had the name Eugene I'd want to be called by my last name too.

Basically, Chaud has one name, but it's said 3 different ways. You can use whatever way you want. Ultimately you'll either end up calling him "Chaud" or "Enzan" depending on which you prefer.

Well, it should also be pointed out there's a difference between the pronunciation of Chaud between the game and anime. The word "chaud" is French for "hot", and is pronounced pretty much the same as "show". This is what the translators of EXE1 had in mind, but then Shopro either didn't get it or thought the French pronunciation would be too confusing, so they pronounced it phonetically and thus made up a whole new silly name.

Some people I know thought it was supposed to be "Chad" and was misspelled. Oy.

It would have been confusing and silly to pronounce it the French way. Imagine, "Is that Cross Fusion Show and ProtoMan?" Or "You're Eugene Show, the guy who holds the record for over 100 consecutive Netbattle victories!"

I have also seen "Ijuin" spelled Ijuuin, Ijyuuin, Injuin, Izyuuin, and God knows how many other spellings...<___<;;;

Of course, Ijuin is the correct spelling :P

I thought they switched in BN4. It certainly seemed like a different style. Or maybe it was just the same people but with less money. *shrug*

I'm probably wrong but I personally think EXE4 was somewhat rushed (hence all the errors.) ....I wouldn't be surprised either seeing as how so many people are so demanding and impatient when it comes to game releases.
