It's like French name, so maybe "Le Chachō"?

::But isn't Chachō just the Japanese word for "company president"? Can a word like that be used for a person's name? — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:40, March 20, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:::"Company president" is "{{j|社長|Shachō}}", not "Chachō". -[[User:PortableSunset|PortableSunset]] ([[User talk:PortableSunset|talk]]) 20:44, March 20, 2021 (EDT) | |||
::::How tricky. Well, it's wiki policy to use the United States version as the most official version when possible, so I'm at a bit at a loss. On one hand, the US version does not give the character an official name, since everyone always refers to him by "the president". On the other hand, we do have an official name, Chachō, but it is not present anywhere outside of Japan...except for the name call sound that is present in all versions. Hmm. Personally, I think we should stick to "president" since that is what most wiki users expect, and that is also what feels the most comfortable to write in the wiki. I'll ask for other opinions, but either way, the article will have to be edited to include the name Chachō, as well as to rename it from "The President" to just "president" ("The" isn't part of the name, and the P should be lowercase since it's not a proper noun...) In addition, I also want to mention somewhere that {{p3d}} calls him "Hocotate president" sometimes. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:51, March 30, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:::::How about keep his real name unknown, but also note he has official name in Japanese version? If you need, I'll prepare a screenshot from p3dx, in which his real name is noted. | |||
:::::I don't have any idea about "the". -[[User:PortableSunset|PortableSunset]] ([[User talk:PortableSunset|talk]]) 20:55, March 30, 2021 (EDT) | |||
::::::A screenshot might not be necessary. If you can just tell us where in the game that text can be found, and also transcribe the text, that's enough. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:39, April 1, 2021 (EDT) | |||
