How do you pronounce it?
/iθuku midoɾiʝa/
Did you know?
- In Spanish-speaking fandom circles, fans often use the diminutive suffix '-ito' to create Izukito, a way of expressing affection that is much more common in Spanish than in Japanese culture.
- Spanish speakers often describe Izuku Midoriya as un llorón during the early series, a word that means 'crybaby' but carries a heavier social connotation of being overly sensitive in Spanish culture.
- Because the name is Japanese, Spanish speakers often adjust the pronunciation of the 'z' in Izuku to a 's' sound to avoid the distinctive 'th' sound used in Castilian Spanish. This makes the name sound more natural to local ears in Latin America.
