    I was going thru my anki decks tonight when I came across this sentence:

    だいちゃん の おとうさん は ひろゆき です。

    For some reason, it suddenly hit me (after having read this sentence many times before), why isn’t ひろゆき this:  ひろゆきさん?

    If you’re friends with someone, you don’t use さん after their names. The fact that the sentence calls the kid だいちゃん probably indicates that the speaker is friends with his father.

    Ah. Thanks.
