Kevin's last name[]
Kevin's full name is Kevin Straker (ケビン・ストレイカー, Kebin Sutoreikā) according to the manual. I don't know where that other site got Kevin Striker (ケビン・ストライカー, Kebin Sutoraikā) from, but it's not the spelling used in the manual. Game Kommander, which has a transcript of the manual, uses the correct spelling. Arkhound (talk) 17:03, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
J3px (talk) 18:18, July 19, 2013 (UTC) Hi, Ark. First of all, know that the following intentions are good and the actions are in good taste. In your defense, I even checked the katakana closely again and found your listing was correct. Checked several sites with this katakana spelling too and found several pointing to your argument. You'll even find in the History where I openly defend your claim. Check the history. So know that this argument has nothing to do with you; it has everything to do with accurate documentation and representation.
The site you listed is evidence to your supported spelling. However I found 5 sites with the 'ra' and not the 're'. What needs to happen to resolve this- is to provide a scan of the official Famicom game manual listing his name as 'ケビン・ストレイカー'. A website with possible screen cap snips of the game has been offered as part of your evidence; now we need a scan of the official.
I've been following this page for 2 years now, have owned the game in 1990, and have recalled it always being Striker (with the 'ラ' katakana, not the 'レ').
Once it's provided, I will honor the documentation as correct and support your claim. Case closed.
Thanks in advance for helping make this a useful site, and making it with good sportmanship.

- Not sure why you made a separate section for the same subject, but here's a scan of the manual with the Kevin Straker's name. Furthermore, googling ストレイカー will give you all sorts of results for people and characters named Straker. Arkhound (talk) 22:14, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
