As a huge Toad fan, I have always felt disappointed by the way Nintendo toys with him: sometimes they include him, sometimes they don't. Of course, I was ecstatic when they revealed that 3D World would be set up similarly to SMB2/USA, and I can proudly say that I cleared every level using my favorite little mushroom retainer. Things don't bode well for him now that we've seen Peach use "a" Toad for her shield, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that "the" Toad will someday join the fray.
I think February is
kisaragi (如月/衣更着

, and
mutsuki (睦月

is January. It would be cool if there were some kind of wordplay, though!
