Tips

culture

帕克曼 is one of two common Chinese renderings of "Pac-Man" - the 1980 Namco arcade game by Toru Iwatani featuring the yellow ghost-eating disc. The other common rendering is 吃豆人 ("bean-eating person"), which is a meaning-based name rather than a phonetic one. 帕克曼 is also occasionally used for surnames like "Packman" or "Pacman."
