Biography
Name and Pronouns
A yajirobē (弥次郎兵衛 ヤジロベエ) is a type of Japanese balancing toy.[2]
Since I imagined him as a Japanese person, I just used a Japanese-like name.
— Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball Forever
The character's name is spelled with the vowel of ベ (be) elongated in shorthand (ヤジロベー) while the toy is typically spelled with the エ (e) elongation written out (ヤジロベエ).
Yajirobe uses the masculine first-person pronoun ore (オレ) to refer to himself.[3]
