Talk:Kakegoe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kakegoe does not mean "hung voice".

This appears to be original research by someone who simply looked up 掛ける in a dictionary and took the first translation they found.

掛け声 is briefly described in the Japanese Wikipedia in this article, https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/大向う:

役者に対して掛けるが、その掛けかたには以下の種類がある。

Translation: "[Kakegoe] is directed at the performers. The calling styles can be divided into the following categories."

In this context, 掛ける means "direct at", or (like in the the compound verb 呼び掛ける) "call", "call out".
