→In Japanese Fandoms
As the majority of English-speaking Japanese-canon fans do not know Japanese, they may use this naming style without fully understanding the rules behind it. Thus the occasional appearance of pairing smooshes more akin to Western styles, that don't conform to the rules of Japanese, such as Tai(chi)/Sora, a popular het pairing in [[Digimon]]; this is often written in English-language fandom as Taiora, a combination that is impossible in Japanese.

The order of names in a smoosh for a Japanese fandom (and occasionally Western) can also indicate who [[seme|tops]]/[[uke|bottoms]] in the relationship, with the top's name being first and the bottom's being second; for example, SasuNaru would have top!Sasuke and bottom!Naruto, while NaruSasu would have top!Naruto and bottom!Sasuke. However, since the 2010s, many Western fans have recognized this as an arbitrary and outdated practice.

Nevertheless, it remains the case with fans in the East, and differing perspectives on its application more often than not cause misunderstandings in communication that may upset either party on social media or fanwork platforms.
