Learn how to say Kintaro with Japanese accent. Kintaro (kintaroh): In Japanese, it can be written as 金太郎 . "Kintarō (金太郎, often translated as "Golden Boy") is a folk hero from Japanese folklore. A child of superhuman strength, he was raised by a mountain hag on Mount Ashigara. He became friendly with the animals of the mountain, and later, after catching Shutendouji, the terror of the region around Mount Ooe, he became a loyal follower of Minamoto no Yorimitsu under the new name Sakata no Kintoki (坂田 金時). He is a popular figure in noh and kabuki drama, and it is a custom to put up a Kintarō doll on Boy's Day in the hope that boys will become equally brave and strong. Kintarō is supposedly based on a real man, named Sakata Kintoki, who lived during the Heian period and probably came from what is now the city of Minami-ashigara. He served as a retainer for the samurai Minamoto no Yorimitsu and became well known for his abilities as a warrior. As with many larger-than-life individuals, his legend has grown with time." - from Wikipedia For more pronunciation of Japanese words, please check: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4JALsptyAzrbc1xVMxjj2QA1jgYAwrDV Or how Foreign Words are pronunced in Japan, please check: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4JALsptyAzrqkXyiz34ldUlYEYKQwkRW For more playlist, please check below: https://www.youtube.com/user/JapaneseEng101/playlists
