So.. I know many people can read hiragana, but it is a very annoying habit of people who know a bit of Japanese to post un-transliterated Japanese text on an English language forum. For someone who doesn’t know Japanese your post reads ‘IIRC it’s a popular TTS character called ??NOT?FOR??YOU??’ - it communicates no information.
replyWriting ‘a popular TTS character called ずんだもん (zundamon)’ takes you very little time and gives readers a little more to work with, and which they can use to Google English language resources on the subject if they are interested.
I did but I removed the English part, not because I assume people can read hiragana, but because I assume people will need to search it up anyway.
replyFor me all the search results for https://www.google.com/search?q=%E3%81%9A%E3%82%93%E3%81%A0%... are in Japanese.
replyhttps://www.google.com/search?q=zundamon produces English language resources.
fwiw i recognize "zundamon" (and many other romanized japanese names/terms) without needing to look them up, but can not read the japanese
replyTry to be more generous with your change requests - not everyone has enough time to fix every bug in their comment.
replyThe strongest plausible interpretation is that when keywords are in another language, it is best to give the original language keyword rather than the anglecised/romanised version (which is so often incorrect e.g. Huawei's Tau[1]). It is also plausible that English is their second language.
Copy-pasting "ずんだもん" into Google gives you everything you want with the sidebar info, copy pasting "zundamon" into Google gives the same Wikipedia link on the sidebar. "Popular TTS character called" is enough to imply that what follows is the name, that you can then search.

replyDoesn't really sound like ずんだもん tbh. Can't recall which voice it is however.
