 == Naming ==
-Oatchi's English name is derived from his Japanese name. His English name is phonetically similar to [[mariowiki:Yoshi|Yoshi]]. This is likely an intentional reference, as Oatchi is ridden much like Yoshi and follows similar naming conventions with Olimar, whose name is derived from [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]], as [[Louie]] is from [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]]. He may, alternatively, be modeled after the more dog-like [[mariowiki:Poochy|Poochy]], whose Japanese name, Pochi, is even closer to "Oatchi" than his English name, and whose tail resembles that of Oatchi.
+Oatchi's English name is derived from his Japanese name, {{j|オッチン|Otchin}}, which is based on a command for dogs to sit.
