Anonymous9000 about 11 years ago The katakana is "エルヴィン" (Eruvin), whereas "Irvin" is supposed to be spelled "アーヴィン". The "v" sound is likely due to Erwin using the German pronunciation of the "w". In addition the official English manga uses the spelling "Erwin" instead of "Irvin". Reply Copy ID Copy Link
