<div>'''Fruits in japanese.''' <br />
<br />
Sometimes, fruits are called by their english name, sometimes by their japanese name. <br />
<br />
It depends of the context, I think.<br />
<br />

I wrote this article on October 31st (2016). So what more natural than talking about the october most famous fruit/vegetable? How it is called in japanese? We say ː KABOCHAǃǃ<br />
<br />
== Fruits in culture ==<br />
*Where could we find fruits in popular culture? <br />
<br />
*There is a song, sang by AV (Adult Video) idols called Banana-Mango High School. <br />
<br />
The meaning is pretty clear I guess. But why Mango? Because in japanese, women genitals are called "manko".<br />
<br />
*In the manga "To Love" (available in France...) Some characters wear names of fruits. Mikan, Momo...<br />
<br />
*In Tokyo aera, the publc transportation pass card is called ː Suica cardǃ<br />
<br />
*Recently (October 2016), Entertainer Piko Taro released a viral video song ː Pen Pineapple-Apple Pen and hit the GUINESS RECORD.<br />

<br />
*One of the princesses from Mario games is called "Peach".<br />
