In Japanese, 178,244 (Katamari) means "clump" or "clod" and Damashii is the rendaku form of 186,178 (tamashii, "soul" or "spirit"). Therefore, the phrase approximates to "clump spirit" (in the same sense as "team spirit" or "school spirit"59 cf. the use of "damashii" in Yamato Damashii). The two kanji that form the name look nearly identical (sharing the same right radical) in a kind of visual alliteration. The name is officially transliterated as Katamari Damacy in most releases. Alternative interpretations have been suggested which find meaning beyond the direct translation. For instance, to pack something (like a snow ball) is 184,199,164,222,164,235 (katamaru), so the title could be seen as meaning "The spirit of clumping." Unfortunately, the producer Keita Takahashi has not divulged much information on the origin of his game39s title. When asked about it in an interview with Dengeki Online, he replied "It just popped into my head suddenly, and this is what it has been from the beginning."911,93 Another interesting observation about the name is that "damashii" can also be parsed when heard as "dama" (182,204,) 43 "shii" (187,205,176,207,) which mean 39ball39 and 39circumference39 respectively. As the objective of the game is to create a ball with as large a circumference as possible, the name is also a very clever pun. |
