The manga re-distribute by Kodansha has everything as Usagi, Mamoru, ect.. due to the first US distribution/translations by Tokyo Pop using DiC's anime names. They are using the REAL names. not the fake ones made up back then because people didnt think we could be smart enough to pronounce 'Usagi'

Did you know, Usagi Tsukino means Rabbit of the Moon, and that Usagi's hair is supposed to simbilize a rabbit. And that she originally came from the moon goes with the story of the Rabbit that lives on the moon xD you'd think it'd go after the story of Princess Kaguya but they used that story for Luna's Side story which was turned into the Sailor Moon S movie.

Rei, and Ami pretty much stayed the same because they were easy to pronounce. Minako was shortened to just Mina, but Makoto was turned to Lita, Usagi to Serena, and the Game shop dude's real name is Matoki which was changed to andrew or andy or something.. =/ i forget.. and his girlfriend turned into his little sister or something..

and Viz said the names are gonna be just that, Usagi, Mamoru, ect... =) they arent changing anything! <3

Dic had the first 2 seasons then Geneon took over for the others. then again when DiC had the 'first season' they combined it with R so Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon R in the US back then was just Sailor Moon >< -kicks her old vhs's out the door-
