Did you know?
- When speaking to children, Japanese people often refer to ミッキーマウス as ミッキーさん, adding the polite honorific 'san' to the character's name.
- In Japanese, the word マウス (mausu) is used for both the Disney character and a computer mouse. This means the same katakana word covers both a legendary cartoon and a piece of hardware.
- Because ミッキーマウス is a foreign name, it is written in Katakana, the script used specifically for loanwords and foreign names, rather than the standard Hiragana or Kanji used for native Japanese words.
