As the Four Demonly Kings are Japanese, I guess it'a time for a fun reveal of their first-person pronouns. Japanese has an array of first- and second-person pronouns (unlike English with only "I" and "you") that carry implications about the user's personality and social standing, it only makes sense that they play an important role in characterization in Japanese fiction. Without further ado:

  • Kaguya: boku 僕 – common masculine pronoun in use in real life, denotes neutral masculinity.
  • Momoka: watashi 私 – gender-neutral, acceptable for casual use by females.
  • Urato: ore オレ – common masculine pronoun, denotes strong masculinity, male youth and/or brashness.
  • Inasuke: ore 俺 – same as above.
