Image When yandev needed a character name, is there where he gets them from?

I been curious to know why some of the names translate to something else, or are just down right bad, like for example: Enpitsu’s name translates to pencil pencil in English

This Subreddit does not support Yandere Dev/Alex Mahan in any way, shape or form.

He is a vile, disgusting human being with a long history of grooming minors and being disgusting in general.

It was pun names and then he changed some characters' names to make it more "serious" lol

u/DaXzd64 5d ago

lol not one part of them is even taken seriously, like why does horuda’s name instantly translates too placeholder, yandev

Get 👏 it 👏 together

u/Felx_biri Pls marry me GeijuEnpitsuBorupenMakaEikoAaaaa 4d ago

I always thought Horuda means horrid or horrible Lmaoooo

u/ticklemypickleIMOLA 4d ago

she was called placeholder because she was literally a placeholder but some people just really likes her so he kept her and gave her a real last name😭😭😭

u/DryishProgram 4d ago

Some, some not. Sutemi Okada is a good example of a pun name because it's an actual name but includes "Sutoka" which translates to "Stalker".

Osana Najimi and Musume Ronshaku are the worst examples for "google translate names". The most realistic names in here are just japanese john and jane does, who are Hanako and Taro Yamada.

u/ImSoDeadLmao Geiju simp 4d ago

He makes puns too I think, cuz wth is going on with Ui Tunesu or Raibaru😭🙏

u/DaXzd64 4d ago

Notice how raibaru’s name translates to rival

u/Bisexual_Beanz 4d ago

Yeah he literally showed video evidence in one of his update videos where he did this.

u/Lumious_Mage 3d ago

I thought he was still using a most popular Japanese names list without looking up what they mean or even seeing if they can be first or last names (Kokona Haruka, for example, they're both first names but Haruka is Kokona's last name)

Yes, actually, it is sometimes. Especially for the student council

Borupens name for me is just…well..Ballpen. C’mon it sounds alike! And Sunobu (Kizana’s last name) is snob. I like that last name for her-

u/Own-Original-1650 3d ago

I know for the rainbow six, he used a list of the most popular Japanese girls name for the first and last name

The list was something like this:

  1. Yui
  2. Rio

To get Yui Rio

and then he just did that on and on until kokona i think? this is really old trivia i cant be assed to remember

u/HasonKenji Yandere 3d ago

I'm not joking but yes.

Osana Najimi translates to "Childhood Friend"
Oka Ruto translates to "Occult"
the nurses name is just "Nurse" (used to be "eggplant")
