Tranquill is based | Tranquill is based on "tranquil," meaning calm or unstressed and "quill," a feather from the tail of a bird. It also incorporates the name [[wp:coturnix|quail]]. Hatoboh may be derived from 鳩 ''hato'', meaning dove, and 逃亡 ''tōbō'', meaning escape or 尨 'bō' meaning shaggy hair. | ||
In some works of {{wp|Kenji Miyazawa}}, a fictional ideal world 「イーハトーヴォ」 ''Ihatov'' often appears. The flavor text in White version says "deep in the forest where Tranquill live, there is a peaceful place where there is no war," which might be implying Kenji's utopia. | In some works of {{wp|Kenji Miyazawa}}, a fictional ideal world 「イーハトーヴォ」 ''Ihatov'' often appears.
