His full name in the west is King Bowser Koopa. Wouldn't it therefore be appropriate to call him King Koopa rather than King Bowser?

Maybe Koopa is his personal name and Bowser his family name. Or maybe there was a Great Koopa Edict of 1892 which declared that all shell creepers must have Koopa in their name. And when you call someone individually, you call them by the name that is not Koopa.

He was King Koopa for a long time before people started calling him Bowser.

I thought Koopa was his species, and Bowser was his name. Like, he's King of the Koopa's.

It's really stupid. His name is literally Koopa in Japan so they fucking brought him over with the correct name and then changed it for no reason whatsoever. This is like, the equivalent of changing Aeris to some shit like Stephanie.

His species is based on kappas a Yokai from Japanese myth about these turtle demons who kill people by ripping their souls out of their anus and their leader is a really big one named Kuzenbo.

They need to include this in the Mario lore
