''St. Annu'' ({{j|サント・アンヌ}}) is the name of the computer in [[Game Freak]]'s {{wp|Sega Genesis|Sega Mega Drive}} title ''{{wp|Pulseman}}''. The specific kana spelling used is a transliteration of the French ''<span lang="fr">Sainte Anne</span>'', which means "Saint Anne".


The Japanese word [http://jisho.org/search/%E5%8F%B7%20%23kanji {{j|号}}] ''gō'', in this context, means "model"; however, it is a Japanese-only descriptor and is not meant to be translated. The English localization uses the equivalent "S.S.", short for {{wp|steamship}}, and drops "St." from the name.
