Kid Katsu is an unseen fictional character in the Dragon Ball GT television series, named as a semi-finalist in the adult division at the 31st Tenka'ichi Budōkai.[1]
Biography
As Mr. Satan receives a massage instead of watching the ongoing fights at the 31st Tenka'ichi Budōkai (confident that Pan will win), a tournament worker enters the room to let Mr. Satan know that the four semi-finalists for the adult division have been decided. They include Kid Katsu, Super One, Ebitchiri, and Papayaman. Pan apparently withdrew herself, saying something about her stomach hurting.
Name
While spoken aloud in the episode, the character's name exclusively appears in written form in the closed captions, where it is written as キットカッツ (kitto katsu). FUNimation's official subtitle track translation by Steve Simmons renders the name as "Kid Katsu"[2]; it is unclear if the closed captions are erroneous, if a script provided to Simmons provided one spelling or another, or if no script was used, if the name was misheard.
Assuming the spelling of キットカッツ is accurate, the name is likely sourced and compounded by adapting from the Japanese words for "for sure" or "without fail" (きっと, kitto into キット, kiddo, simultaneously approximating the English word "kid) and the word for "to win" (勝つ, katsu).
In FUNimation's English dub, four names appear in spoken dialog in the same scene as in Japanese, but in a different order: Papaya Man, Madd Chili, Super One, and Matt Catt. With the first and third names being the same as their Japanese sources, assuming "Madd Chili" is a stand-in for "Ebitchiri", this leaves "Matt Catt" as the stand-in for Kid Katsu.
