Chinese redirect edit

Some of you have noticed there is a Chinese name redirecting here, and a section Shimajiro#In_China. Because this show is very popular in China, please keep this redirect in place.

Chinese people often know things just by Chinese names and for linguistic reasons they may not know the Japanese name. So a Chinese user created Qiao Hu, but he/she meant to start a page for this show. In fact there was already a page, so I merged the content of Qiao Hu here and made a redirect.

Yeah I noticed that Shimajiro in Japan has been renamed Qiaohu in China. And also, I noticed in South Korea, Shimajiro is renamed Hobi.
Can anybody on Wikipedia explain to me the name changes and why Shimajiro has been renamed Qiaohu in China and Hobi in South Korea? I'm very confused about the name changes. Any website article links about the name changes for Shimajiro explanation and history would be nice to know. CrosswalkX (talk) 13:54, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
