			In [[Nippon Golden Network]]'s English-subtitled broadcast of the television series beginning in 1992, ''Kinto'un'' is consistently referred to as "Candy Cloud".

			[[Harmony Gold]]'s original 1989 English language dubbing attempt at the series and films refers to ''Kinto'un'' as "Flying Nimbus". [[FUNimation]]'s subsequent English dubs adopt this name and consistently refer to it as "Flying Nimbus" or simply "Nimbus".

			===''Dragon Ball''===
			Though ''Kinto'un'' was conceived before ''Dragon Ball'' actually began serialization, Akira Toriyama also later explained that it was a convenient way to display landscapes and scenery overhead without having to design airplanes and other machinery:

			{{quotation\|Now that you mention it, once Goku and his allies learned ''Bukūjutsu'' and were able to fly, advancing the story became really easy.<br><br>...<br><br>Because everyone became able to just fly straight to anywhere. That's why thinking up the story's development became easy, and above all the story’s progress became speedy. Even looking at it with the pictures in mind, I became able to show things from an angle looking down upon the scenery. That was also why I initially introduced ''Kinto'un''. Up until then, they had to bring out planes and automobiles and the like one by one, and it was really tiresome.\|Akira Toriyama, "Akira Toriyama Super Interview", ''Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 4: World Guide''}}
			While ''Kinto'un'' remained a staple for some time during the series, most characters eventually became able to fly under their own power:

			{{quotation\|As the enemies kept getting stronger, using ''Nyoibō'' or flying around on ''Kinto'un'' just wouldn't cut it anymore, so the characters had to start flying themselves. When Tenshinhan first flew, I remember thinking "Hey, this is pretty useful." ''(laughs)'' And when I thought of depicting ''ki'' visually in the manga, it really made things easier. Like with the Kamehameha and whatnot.\|Akira Toriyama, "Akira Toriyama Interview: Dragon Ball and Akira Toriyama", ''Dragon Ball 30th Anniversary "Super History Book"''}}
