Translation and Dub Issues

Her name is a portmanteau of the fairy-tale character Cinderella and the Japanese term for gold (金, Kin^?), reflecting her “gold-digging” character. This is confirmed by her signature laugh, derived from a popular Japanese shorthand for marrying into money (玉の輿, Tama no koshi^?, lit. “jeweled palanquin”).

The VIZ manga translates her laugh as “Gold-dig-dig-dig-dig.”

Trivia

• Her name may also be a reference to Kinder Surprise, chocolate eggs famously packaged with toys inside (befitting her husband’s toy empire).
• “Miss Universe” is an annual international beauty contest that is run by the Miss Universe organization.
  • Yukiyo Fujii, her Japanese voice actress, has also competed in a beauty contest, namely Miss International Japan.
