Two things.

I looked for the Japanese name of Meowth's attack, and it's appearantly... 'A Small Stamp' O.o

Also... Go to the Japanese Dojo site and look in Kirby's FS. At the bottom of that, there's a freaky soundtrack I roughly translated to 'I Chat! DS Cooking Navigator' :confused:

I'm scared. o.o

The koban (小判, alternately ōban) was a Japanese oval gold coin in Edo period feudal Japan, equal to ten ryō, another early Japanese monetary unit (a ryō can be imagined as worth a thousand dollars, although the value of the coin, like the value of the dollar, varied considerably).

The Keichō koban, a gold piece, contained about one ryō of gold, so that koban carried a face value of one ryō. However, successive mintings of the koban had varying (usually diminishing) amounts of gold. As a result, the ryō as a unit of weight of gold and the ryō as the face value of the koban were no longer synonymous.

The Maneki Neko is often depicted holding a koban, though the koban most Maneki Neko hold is indicated to be worth ten million ryō.

Your eyes happened to drift to my location, I see.

Isn't copy/pasting stuff straight from Wikipedia illegal or something..? I think it's called Copyright Infringement, but I could be wrong.

I know, I can't spell.

^Right, Wikipedia is information compiled from many anonymous people. I believe copyright is something granted to a person whenever they write or make a piece of work. Since Wikipedia isn't written by anyone person, the copyright is just to the site... so technically copy/pasting something from it without citation doesn't matter. However if you try to pass off the information as your own it is still plagiarism and is illegal.

Yeah.
