Touhou Influence?[edit]

I don't want to be the one to mention it, but did ZUN ever mention Kiki Kaikai as one of his influences for Touhou Reiiden or Fuumaroku? There are some strong visual parallels in enemies/character design/setting etc.--125.0.116.138 (talk) 09:06, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it possible, they are both just inspired by Miko and youkai? --178.12.199.153 (talk) 19:18, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 6 March 2022[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the page to Kiki Kaikai at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 02:29, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

KiKi KaiKai → ? – Should this page be moved? English sources seem to disagree on what this game is titled. While they mostly agree to write it as two distinct words, they are split on capitalizing the middle Ks (KiKi KaiKai) or not (Kiki Kaikai). Normally in Japanese transcriptions, you don't capitalize letters mid-word unless it was an official stylization. I decided to do some research. Since this game was originally published only in Japanese (奇々怪界), I searched to find times it was officially published in English to see what it was titled. Here are the results:

Surprisingly, the game was almost always published as four distinct words! The problem is almost no sources currently write it like that (WP:COMMONNAME). But since it's a creative work, shouldn't we go with the title given by its creator? Interestingly, Heavenly Guardian, which was originally a planned 2008 sequel until it was rebranded, was originally titled Kiki KaiKai 2 (only one midword capital K) [5]. Great, as if we needed more confusion. Well anyways, I'm not sure what to go with:

Thoughts? TarkusABtalk/contrib 16:59, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • C The official name is in "all caps" and Hardcore Gaming 101 leaves out the mid-word capitalization, putting it in doubt. I'd therefore default to the most uncontroversial option with all stylization removed. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Zxcvbnm: Since you just created the series article, it actually should now be Kiki Kaikai (video game), with Kiki Kaikai redirected to the series article, but I would support this. I was leaning C to be honest. TarkusABtalk/contrib 17:02, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      @TarkusAB: Not quite sure about that. The typical search from Western people for the series would be "Pocky and Rocky", very few people would search for "Kiki Kaikai" unless they are looking for the specific game. (On a somewhat related note, would you be open to converting the table in the article to the better looking Template:Timeline of release years? It does leave out some info, but that can probably be explained in prose?) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      @Zxcvbnm: That's probably fair. And yes open to it but I tried it and didn't necessarily like how it looked. You either A) don't collapse the years and it's absurdly long with ridiculous gaps or B) collapse the year gaps and it ends up collapsing between each entry turning it into a simple list anyways. That table is supposed to be hovering to the right of the text, but because of the infobox in the way it pushes all the text down below. TarkusABtalk/contrib 17:27, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to closer: In case it's not clear, both myself and Zxcvbnm agree with C being the correct move target. Been over two weeks without any other input, so requesting closure. TarkusABtalk/contrib 20:45, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
