if you convert english to japanese, l sounds are turned into r sounds. japanese has no l sound, so they are often interchanged. I don't know how they decide which to use for the english spelling though... kind of like how krillan from dbz is actually kuririn and such... nice drawing though.

I prefer Malik though...pronounced the same anyways. Nice piccu though, I think you made his eyes just a tad bit too far apart. ^^;
