Fun fact: he's named "Rockman" in Japanese because "rock", as in "rock music", as a loan word in Japanese is used as an adjective rather than a noun, and it's usage would be synonymous with "cool".

And that's also why his sister is named Roll, because puns. :P

Yes. Many musical puns on classic Rockman.
Did you know that there is an official funny manga of Rockman called Rockman-chan? It is quite silly. web-ace.jp/youngaceup/contents/1000169/episode/5481/
Sadly I have not seen someone translating all the chapters to english, but in spanish there is a dude.

A thing I will miss are the names those are changed because they sound terrible in a different language, 2 Hispanic examples come to mind:
1. Chichi in Spanish means boob so they changer her name to Milk. I know it means boob in Japanese too but I don't think it would be allowed in LATAM.
2. Kagome from Inuyasha was changed to Aome, why? Kagome sounds like Cagame, "shit on me"
Oh well, at least know he have gems such as that Ghibli movie named Laputa, aka, Thewhore "I will take all the treasures in Thewhore" "Thewhore is so beautiful" "Thewhore isn't real kid"
