The name Fleece Tyler sounds like a legendary freestyler, but he is actually just an extremely obscure internet meme that only freestylers are likely to have encountered while using online translation services[1] to translate Japanese freestyle-related websites, such as Masahiro Fujii's freestyle-sk8.com, to English.
The mistranslation occurred because the katakana 「フリースタイル」 (furi-sutairu) was incorrectly being separated into 「フリース」 (furi-su) and 「タイル」 (tairu), which phonetically resulted in Fleece Tyler, in English.
So, in short, Fleece Tyler IS "Freestyle"!
| Katakana | Romaji | English |
| フリー | furi- | free |
| フリース | furi-su | Fleece |
| スタイル | sutairu | style |
| タイル | tairu | Tyler |
Most translation sites have corrected this mistake, but Fleece Tyler still lives on, in our hearts, minds and on this page.
