Talk:Marcel

I believe that Marcel's visual design is based on traditional Japanese masks, and not mimes. His Japanese name is written in hiragana, indicating he is a Japanese native. His clothes and house are Japanese-themed. Even his English phrase "non" can be interpreted as a referential pun to Noh theatre. Japanese-language sites indicate that his face is like a festival mask. I am creating a discussion page before changing anything, for now.

That's a good point, but in this case I think it's clear that the localization thought he looked like a mime and changed him to be French. Marcel is obviously referencing Marcel Marceau, and getting "Noh" from "non" is a bit of a stretch. But you do have a point about his Japanese name and styling, so it's probably worth noting both rather than one or the other. StrawberryChan (talk) 18:45, April 6, 2020 (EDT)

New Year's Birthday

So on the Animal Crossing Wiki (the one run by Fandom), the trivia on Marcel's page that he cannot celebrate the New Year's Countdown due to his birthday falling on that day. Can somebody confirm if this indeed true for any game he appears in and if it is, is it at least worth mentioning (either on Marcel's page or the Countdown page)?
