Is this translation correct? 2008/6/22 08:42
Hello everybody...
I was wondering, is this Cubs jersey translated correctly? Does the jersey actually say "Fukudome" (as in the Japanese baseball player Kosuke Fukudome)?

Is it a phoenetic spelling of his last name? The real spelling? What does it mean?

Thanks!

Mike,

Yes, it reads "Fukudome", so in that sense it is correct, but it is written in katakana characters (normally used for non-Japanese names), so it is not how his name would be written in Japanese.
It should be written as "•Ÿ—¯".

You can seen this on the Wikipedia page for the player...
