スパイダーマン
The English phrase spider-man is translated into Japanese as スパイダーマン.
Did you know?
- In Japan, the phrase スパイダーマン is famously associated with the 1970s live-action series where the hero could call a giant robot called レオパルドン to fight monsters.
- If you were to translate the concept of a 'spider-man' using native Japanese words instead of the loanword, you would say 蜘蛛男 (kumo-otoko).
- The Japanese language has a distinct word for a real spider, 蜘蛛, which uses a different writing system than the katakana used for スパイダーマン.
