I think I say this every year, but there is not enough Demon Kakka in my life.

I wonder if this is within line of the forum content rules, but I feel I have to point out that as a Finn, this is somewhat amusing. The word "Kakka" means "poo" in Finnish.

Not only in Finnish...

[RabidJohn 1,732]

Considering His Excellency's upbringing in the US when he took on human form and his fluency in English, I reckon he knows exactly what his name means in a few other languages.

And how could it be against forum rules when we have to mention, for example, kimarite such as shitatenage?

[yorikiried by fate 2,010]

Well, at teenage a lot of things feel like crap...

Maybe Takanosho hopes nobody from Japan knows about this episode ...

Wasn't H.E. originally known as Demon Kogure?

[Kamitsuumi 391]

Kakka is just a title here, already translated as H.E. (His Excellency). Kogure is his birth family name, and he removed it from his stage name, in order to get rid of the human element.
