Soooo.... are we not going to have a picture of domo from now on? Because there's no pic... aaand... that makes this article kinda empty without a visual representation of domo. I came here to see why a picture was not included and it seems someone just deleted it for no good reason? Hmmm.... Monkeytheboy ( talk) 00:19, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't know Japanese, but I think kun is a diminuitive honorific. The kun disambig page it links to doesn't seem to mention that.
Which image do you prefer, the old one ( I08-f101.jpg) or the new one uploaded by JmBd ( Image:Domo9.jpg)?
The old one does not have a very high resolution, but I think it's better for the article: it is funnier and only Domo-Kun is depicted (several times actually). In the new one you have to guess which of the two is Domo-Kun (that can be fixed in the caption of course, but I think that only Domo-Kun should be pictured for a better first glance recognition).
If the first image is to be discarded because low resolution, because it has Japanese text or for other reasons, I would propose uploading this one rather than the one that is currently present in the article (no offense to JmBd meant). Comments are welcomed. -- xDCDx 01:47, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The article states currently that the phrase translates to "very much hello" in English; however, I was under the impression that it was "Thanks [for watching], hello." Can anyone confirm this?
It should be noted that "-kun" is not actually part of his name, it is in fact an honourific indicating strong friendship or possibly family ties, usually to a younger person (EG a mother would say to her child (translated into english , with honourifics "intact") "Billy-kun, could you help getting the shopping in please?")
Is this improper grammar or is this style of grammar used somewhere in the world commonly? - Rudykog 17:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm about to remove the links to the profile sites, because I don't feel they're encyclopedic; nevertheless, I feel that there should be some discussion among editors of this page as to what belongs and what doesn't. I would definitely keep the NHK page and the Domo-kun FAQ, but some of the others... I'm not sure that a German fanpage really belongs in the English Wikipedia (and as I can't read German, I'm not qualified to judge its quality anyway). The Flash game, while entertaining, is already linked in the main body of the article; is it necessary to have it there twice? I'd like to hear what other editors think. - Gemtiger 22:35, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that several items in "Appearances in Other Media" should be removed because they are not official products. For example: "Domo-kun appears as one of the monsters in Go, Go, Parody Rangers!, an obvious parody of Power Rangers, which is featured on Newgrounds." ( Llxwarbirdxll 05:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC))

Agreed that it's excluded. Same holds true for the "every time you masturbate, god kills a kitten" meme originated on 4chan with domo chasing down a tabby cat. funny as hell, and made a splash on teh netz, but unless it's notable enough to be mentioned in a published source outside of said netz, it's not encyclopedic. just funny :) Enigmatic2k3 ( talk) 23:40, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, should the article be renamed? NHK (and other official sources) use "Domo" instead of Domo-kun in English, while in Japanese "Domo-kun" is used.

It is mentioned in the article that Dōmo's name is homophonous with どうも dōmo ("indeed; very much; [literally] anyhow," which is occasionally used as a sort of meaningless interjection, a casual greeting, or an abbreviated form of expressing thanks). However, I do not see it explained anywhere that the most notable pun implied in the naming of this character is its near homophony with 獰猛 dōmō "fierce, ferocious, bestial, brutal, savage, vicious, atrocious." The gap between his ferocious visage and his harmless behavior is supposed to be humorous. Ebizur ( talk) 15:50, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
