Origin

Ol' Saint Trick is based on Santa Claus, the typically Western folkloric figure associated with Christmas, who most famously is based in the North Pole and delivers presents to children during the night of Christmas eve. He derives from the European lore of Saint Nicholas and Father Christmas (see Ol' Fortune#Origin), the latter which typically dressed in a green or scarlet fur-lined bishop habit. However, in modern times the color turned to red with Santa Claus, a change that is attributed to soft drink brands like Coca Cola using Santa Claus' image in their adverts at least as early as the '30s.

It is to be noted that Christmas has no religious or folkloric connotations for the Japanese, and is instead merely a commercial holiday where gifts are exchanged and parties with cake and other common sweets are held, and is also an occasion for young couples to get closer.

Name Origin

  • "Ol' Saint Trick" is a play on "Ol' Saint Nick", one of the many nicknames of Santa Claus, referring to his Saint Nicholas origins.
  • "Santakuroushi" translates as "three choices mentor" (Japanese: 三択老師, Santaku Rōshi), while playing on Santa Claus (Japanese: サンタクロース, Santa Kurōsu)' katakana pronunciation.
  • Japanese: サンタク老師 Santakurōshi
  • Korean: 산타클도사 Santakeuldosa
