Matsu-chan or Matchan (like Hitoshi Matsumoto) ? Or Macchan ? Takabeg ( talk) 02:37, 29 September 2011 (UTC) reply

I assume it was aspirated as "Matttssssu-chan". Cla68 ( talk) 02:59, 29 September 2011 (UTC) reply

It was likely "Matsu-chan". It's possible some people may have colloquially shortened it to "Matchan", but I can't find any sources for that. ··· 日本穣 ^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 06:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC) reply

It's Matchan. Matsu-chan is very difficult to pronounce and sounds unnatural. Oda Mari ( talk) 07:28, 29 September 2011 (UTC) reply

I've used a book source written in Finnish. Therefore pages may be a little variable. But I understand such fairly "aerial" or terms, about flying in English, I presume. Hörpötti ( talk) 19:38, 29 July 2014 (UTC) reply
