While the designers thought this name was cute, design supervisor Atsushi Kakuta thought "Dorochū" was ''too'' cute; he was concerned that using such childish language would pigeonhole Kirby as a character for young children. After reading a design proposal that misspelled his name as ドローチュ (''Dorōchu''), he thought it sounded better and decided to change the name. Further tweaks eventually led to ドロッチェ (''Dorocche''), which is intended to have a "cool and Italian-like" sound.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20221026130626/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0611/1/page3.html Nintendo Magazine Online No.100 (November 2006) - Interview with ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' developers (Japanese)]</ref> | ||
