As you may know, this wiki uses the names and terminology from the Japanese version instead of the ones found in the English games and media.
The vast majority of the Medarot franchise was only released in Japan, and during our time on Wikia we found that switching between using English names when they exist and using Japanese for the rest not only looked messy, but also made things much more annoying to organize. So, for the sake of internal consistancy we are sticking to the original names for everything. This does not mean we're completely ignoring the English version, but Japanese names should be used for links and page titles!
Here's a quick comparison of the main differences:
| English | Japanese | |
|---|---|---|
| Terms: | Medabot | Medarot |
| Medafighter | Medarotter | |
| Medawatch | Medarotch | |

| Henry | Hikaru | |
| Erika | Arika | |
| Samantha | Kikuhime | |
