Also, I've seen reference to an OP version of Momotaro from time to time, don't ask me where b'c I don't remember. Do you know anything about that OP version?
I've seen that translation too, but it doesn't seem right to me.

As far as I know, Momotaro translates to "Peach boy". Momotaro is the hero of a Japanese myth and was born from a peach to parents who prayed for a child. More adventures followed.

Momotaro was a very tough guy, but he was "Peach boy". lol!

Will be growing this one next year!
