History Trivia / Yatterman

** It should be noted there are complete fansubs of the series, however fans don't like them, as they are poorly translated wrecks done with Google Translate.

** The 2008 ''Yatterman'' anime brought back Noriko Ohara as the voice of Doronjo from the original ''Yatterman'' anime. In addition, Jōji Yanami returned as lacky Boyakki, and Kazuya Tatekabe returns as lacky Tonzura.
** This counts as a Marathon Run, The characters and voice actors can never be separated. Even in the live-action Yatterman movie, where established live-action actors play the Doronbo Gang, [[RemakeCameo the voice actors still appear as a trio of customers who end up getting scammed by the Doronbo gang]]. Sadly, Tatekabe passed away in 2015, and Nanami passed in 2021.

* CrossdressingVoices: The 2008 series is the only one where Gan isn't voiced by a woman, being voiced by Yoshiko Ohta in the original series and Creator/EriKitamura in ''Tatsunko vs Capcom''.

** The ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' franchise features two different {{exp|y}}es of Boyakki: the first one is Foreman Spike from ''VideoGame/WreckingCrew'' (who is even named Burakki in the original Japanese version), while the second and most popular one is Waluigi, introduced first in ''VideoGame/MarioTennis''.

* {{Tuckerization}}: Doronjo's real name[[spoiler:, Hiroko Sasegawa,]] is derived from franchise director Hiroshi Sasagawa.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Tatsunoko's English catalog lists Yatterman and other Time Bokan series with localized versions of character names[[note]]Gan was renamed "Gage", Ai as "Janet", Omochoma as "Robbie-Robbie", Doronjo as "Florina", Boyacky as "Paradoxie", Tonzura as "Tonzeror", and Dokurobe as "Skullduggerstein"[[/note]]. These names go back to a deal in the '80s, where Tatsunoko tried to sell some of its properties through Harmony Gold. While some of the library did get pilots produced, other series like this had their sale fall through and nothing ever come of an English adaptation. At least two of Harmony Gold's English names did make it into the Italian dub, however, with Ai being renamed "Janet" and Omochama becoming "Robbie-Robbie". "Skullduggerstein" was also used in the subbed version of ''Anime/YattermanNight''.

** Also averted in Italy, the only country where all 108 episodes of the original series have been dubbed. Italy also got the live action movie in February 2011, and in late 2015 the 2008 series was finally aired too (albeit only subbed, in both "faithful to the original" and "same kind of {{Woolseyism}} as the old version's dub" variants)

** Similarly, Dokurobei has been voiced by Creator/JunpeiTakiguchi in his every appearance until [[AuthorExistenceFailure Takiguchi's death in 2011]].

** The Italian dub was also aired in early 90s in Poland, with Polish voice-over added. Italy also got the live action movie in February 2011.

* MissingEpisode: In late 2015, when the 2008 series was finally exported in Italy, it came out that all the episodes that featured parodies of American movies and celebrities will be never included in any foreign release.

*** And sadly now played straight again, thanks to not meeting it's goal, only the first 17 episodes of both series (and the first 2008 special, which officially counts as episode 12.5) are properly subbed, AnimeSols will not be subbing the rest of either.

** It should be noted there are complete fansubs of the series, however, they're worse than Hong Kong subs, and were poorly-done using Google Translate,

** Now averted in the U.S. and Canada thanks to the crowdfunding streaming site Anime Sols, which has both the original show and remake.
