:lol: I start this thread by asking those few who own this set to watch the 1st few minutes of COBALT, & pay special attention to the name that our 'Kintaro' uses. I have been transcribing the 1st booklet, & the name we thought was not the one listed in his 1st appearance.

Here is the listing for his appearance in ep 2:

Cast:
ギャング団手下. :d evil:ンタロー (where :d evil: is the character in doubt)

Gyangu-dan teshita. :d evil:ntarō
Gang minions. :d evil:ntarō

though I omit the voice actor, as I have not transcribed these yet.

above & to the left of his image:
フランクンが唯命令に従う強盗団の気弱な手下
Furanku n ga tada meirei ni shitagau gōtō-dan no kiyowana teshita
Timid minions of robbers that Furankun to follow only instructions

So, I am wondering if that 1st character is correct, but not wanting to influence people's perceptions, I at this time, hide it. Please watch his introduction, do not look in your booklets.

Not KINTARO, but RINTARO: was he named after the animator or vice-versa?
