1: Pokémon Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee were named after four famous fighters

Their names are inspired by kung fu film stars Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, but Hitmonchan's alternate name (Ebiwalar) is a reference to Japanese world champion boxer Hiroyuki Ebihara, while Hitmonlee's name (Sawamular) comes from the world's first kick-boxer, Tadashi Sawamura. TRUTH!

2. The Last Airbender almost happened without Zuko!​

Even though Zuko ended up becoming one of the biggest fan-favourites of The Last Airbender originally the writers didn’t even think of him. They added him in at the last minute when they realised they needed more action.

3. In Spirited Away the characters names all have symbolic meanings​

A lot of thought and care went into the naming of the characters in this film! Kamaji means 'old boiler man', Boh means 'little boy' or 'son', Zeniba means 'money witch', Yubaba means 'bathhouse witch', and the name of the heroine, Chihiro - means 'a thousand searches'. FACT!
