I recommend accepting also the original (?) spelling "Gojira" for the famous movie monster.

"Number 1" clue is a bit misleading. Kept trying ichi and it wouldn't work. Better translation of the word you are looking for might be "first".

The clue is not misleading. "Ichi" means "one" and "ichiban" means "number one." It depends on the context, but usually "first" would be "daiichi," as in "anzen daiichi" (safety first).

Exactly it's wrong. If (for example) someone make a purchase in a shop and said "domo arigato" as thanks you'd look totally stupid.

For "V" I kept trying to figure out how to spell "Gundam" or "Go Lion" or "Doraemon" with a "V". I realize "Go Lion" doesn't start with a V, but could you accept the answer since they are the same show?

Eva and Mazinger don't fit either.

I also tried "Valkyrie" (Macross).

I didn't know Voltron, maybe I'll check it out...

I found it. It was House of Bamboo. Robert Stack is the guy who kept looking for the ichiban.

I kept typing Voltes V, which was older than Voltron. It was dubbed in English on its first showing in my country, where it was popular. Maybe consider it as an alternate answer? It was also dubbed in English for the North America release in 1983.

The question "Former name of T" baffled me, I understand what it means now but I thought T might be an actual thing rather than a reference to another question. Maybe it could be rephrased as "Former name of current capital city"?

"Arigato" or "Arigato Gozaimasu (respectfully)" is for thanks. Domo Arigato is different as it is a sentence meaning "thank you very much", which you would not normally say, unless it was for something major. So you got it wrong. It's like telling everyone "Sayonara", when you will only be gone for a few hours, it would make you look stupid.

I don't think that's quite right. Both "Arigato" and "Domo Arigato" are expressing a little gratitude. "Arigato Gozaimasu" is a more polite way of expressing gratitude.

Agree with Winter59k. This explanation is not quite accurate. Ending with "gozaimasu", would make it more respectful and increase the feeling of gratitude beyond just "domo arigato".

Having spent 4 years in Japan I only ever ONCE saw quail eggs served on sushi rice and would imagine it's not very common. Most of the times I had quail eggs there it was at yakitori restaurants....

I am Japanese. I completely consent to you. We've never saw served sushi and quail eggs together. Is it true in USA?
