tooo many words meaning thief in the japanese language... so choose one i guess lol...
nusubito/nusutto - Thief
dorobou - Thief, theft, robber
touzoku - Thief, Robber
kusemono - villain, thief, suspicious fellow
sozoku - petty thief
toorima - phantom thief
kaitou - Mysterious (phantom) thief
akisu/akisunerai/ - Sneaky thief
hirutonbi - sneaky thief
kosodoro - Sneaky thief
jidoushadoro - car thief
kantanshi - Bedroom Thief
shinobi - spy, sneaky thief
dorobou is the best translation for a thief I think, though the guy above me pretty much covered it.
it's dorobou
Thanx guys! :D
I think it's either:
touzoku - Thief, Robber, or kaitou - Mysterious (phantom) thief. :unsure:
I boubt it's dorobou if it means- Thief, theft, robber. :wacko:
Still, thanx for your input "Yujiro Hanma"! :)
Thanx! :laugh: :rolleyes:
I'd put my money on Kaitou, since the Japanese love their Kaitou.... every detective show (and quite a few others) has one, it seems... And usually, they're just called Kaitou, or Kaitou *something*.
A Kaitou is usually more... "sophisticated" than a normal thief. Leaving a calling card, only aiming for certain items (although the logic behind the items picked isn't necessarily logical to anybody else), taunting the detectives...
Touzoku would be a more.... violent and "rough" thief, I guess. Dorobou is the most common word for thief. Like, if someone stole your wallet or something on the street, that's what you're most likely to scream. But as a name...? Sounds kinda weird...
But yeah, like Sataned said, there are simply too many words for "thief" in the Japanese language to be sure from that little information...
I found out his name! :laugh:Quote:
