:If he doesn't have a proper name in the coming episodes, Master's the closest thing we have. Chances are, he'll get an actual name once it's dubbed, like Sayer did.

How does ユウタ "yuuta" become bartender? Especially when they were calling him "Master", which is what you call a bartender in Japan? Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 18:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- Someone who must've been Japanese illiterate must've forgotten to remove the Japanese text before saving, I assume... a recent CotD was named Yūta, iirc. ▫▪Ťïňắ ♫♥ 18:37, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah. It's a fail. I'm for deleting the Japanese name as long as someone finds his actual name from credits (maybe he had a proper name, who knows?). --Maxim 18:40, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Move to Master (Sinnoh)
This is difficult. The term "master" isn't exactly intended to be his name, but it's rather a title indicating that he is the manager/owner of that particular establishment, whatever it would be called - diner, cafe, bar, whatever. ("Master" in this context is most often attributed to barkeepers, and yeah the place sure looks like a bar (albeit an upscale, kid-friendly one), but... eh.)
I highly doubt that TPCi will choose to rename him "Barkeep" or something, but I also highly doubt that they'll call him "Master," as such a name has completely different connotations in English.
