By playing MH3 or watching a lot of MH3 youtube
videos and viewing pics of Tri- on the web, we
should be rather familiar with this guy.

But like all MH games of the past, no names have
been given to these wonderful NPCs.  I thought it
would be a fun idea to name one of these guys. And
since I finished watching the 2009 Fall season of the
famous Japanese obstacle course/strong man competition,

I thought of a decent name for the Captain of the
Trading Ship in MH3(tri)....MAKOTO NAGANO!

He is a fan favorite with the SASUKE series, being
one of the Allstars, and an all around awesome guy
(my personal favorite from the show), Nagano's name
would be a great representation for Tri's Dragon-tribe,
Trading Ship Captain.

Makoto Nagano is the captain of his own fishing ship,
called the KONPIRAMARU.  And although he doesn't have
a very rare Katana, Makoto does have one of 2 of the
rare titles of completing the SASUKE course and is
a celebrity in his own right to fans around the world!

Although this is only for fun, I'd like to call the
Trading Ship Captain in MH3, with the name of one of
the strongest and most humble men on earth...
MAKOTO NAGANO!
And name the trading ship, the KONPIRAMARU!

What name would you like to give to an NPC in Tri-? And why?

dunno about all that but since I shop at Trader Joe's alot, I prefer that name over someone who isn't even a trader and Trader Joe sounds cooler to me.
