Vegeta/Vejita?

[Travis Touchdown]

Silly question. In drawings and possible nametags in the anime, how is Vegeta's name spelled? Is it Vegeta or Vejita? Or even Vegita?

Kind of like how when Toriyama wrote out Goku's name, it was always spelled Gokuh.

With the exception of Goku Jr. who spelled it without the H. Which is weird since in the same series, Goku's spacesuit has the H.

I belive it's actually Begeeta a good deal of the time.

Toriyama hadn't decided what romanizations to use. Goku is the most common these days, but Gokuh and Gokuu are still seen (Also, in filler, Goku was spelt 'Gokuu').

To be honest I don't remember Vegeta's name ever being written in English. So I didn't really answer your question at all.

I knicked this from an old post by Olivier Hague, but he listed all the alphabet spellings for Vegeta that he'd found on official Japanese merchandise as: Vegeta / Begeta / Bageta. His complete list of official alphabet spellings for characters can be found here, if you scroll most of the way down.

I would so mispronounce that as "Baggetta." Doesn't that just paint the funny mental image...

I think we can all agree there's only one universally accepted way to write Vegeta's name: 'BADMAN.'

Agreed.

Wow.
Still not nearly as surprising as "Yama" for Enma Daiô. Now I'd like to know how that happened. While I guess it does make sense, in a twisted way, most Japanese kids probably went "huh?"

Was I the only person who thought Bulma was really mean giving him the horrid lime yellow/green trousers? The Badman logo... So true. Vegeta should have released his own brand it would rival Adidas!

And yet, no video game has ever had Badman Vegeta as a playable costume...

It's soul destroying isn't it And yet they have how many different costumes for Son Goku!

bJi:tta in Saiyanese (you guys are probably like "yeah... okay...." but whatever) - sounds quite close to how his name is said in Japanese. I'll be making a YT video on this sometime..

I would have loved the “Vegita” spelling but that ship has sailed and I think it would have halted the whether his brother’s name is “Tarble” or “Table” argument.

I am pretty sure the spelling, "Vegeta" is the most common. But I think I see Vejita and Bejita fairly often as well.

I'm happy with "Vegeta". Older spellings like "Bejita" or "Vejita" make me think of old-school fanfics from waaaaay back in the early 2000's, so I'm ok with those too.


My favorite "Goku" spelling is "Gokou", but I never use it. ^^;

G O K O U (sorry, it keeps word filtering it to Goku) is a weird one. Wouldn't that be pronounced Goko?

Personally, I don't think names need to be spelled in a particular way to make sure people say them right. My surname isn't pronounced as it's written. It's like how Pioneer changed Aeka's name to Ayeka in Tenchi Muyo, it's a little condescending in a way, like "They wouldn't possible understand if it was pronounced this way but written this way".

That's why I'm okay with Table. It matches Vegeta that way, which seems to be the most common spelling for Vegeta's name.

Gokou is pronounced the same as Gokuh. It's like with the English word "caribou". My mom even spelt it that way because that's how she though it would be spelt since it's pronounced "goh-koo".
