Quote from: geepee16 on 06/11/2008, 10:33 PMthe 'master higgins' thing for the us version was just the us side's creation for the localization as 'meijin' (literally : famous person) wouldn't make any sense.  no one in the states knew of takahashi at the time.  of course, naming the character 'master higgins' doesn't do much for us either.  i personally thought it was kind of funny because the name higgins reminded me of a character on magnum p.i. (whom my friend looked like [we called him higgins also]) and that was funny enough for me.  as for why 'master'...maybe because he's a good skateboarder?

all i do for hudson is get some information and write features for them.  i'm not a full time employee or anything like that.  i've gotten to meet several people from both the japan and us side things.  usually, it's pretty fun.
