He does not.

BTW, in the Swedish book the names in the Norwegian "rubble" language 
have been replaced by names in Swedish.

I would say that the average reader of a Disney magazine is a boy or 
girl of 5 to 10 years of age who reads the issue once and then throws it 
away; however, I doubt that such readers will think it is worth paying 
such an expensive amount of money for enourmous books like "Jag, Musse 
Pigg."  The size of the book will probably also make it difficult for 
such readers to hold the actual book in their hands.

For whom it may concern: Below is a list of the Japanese names in that 
book and their Hepburn transcriptions.  The transcriptions will probably 
make it easier for most people to pronounce the names.

Inducks abbreviation ^ Name in Hepburn transcription ~~ Name in Japanese writing
MM                   ^ Mikkii Mausu                  ~~ ミッキーマウス
MI                   ^ Minii Mausu                   ~~ ミニーマウス
GO                   ^ Guufii                        ~~ グーフィー
JC                   ^ Jiminii Kuriketto             ~~ ジミニークリケット
DD                   ^ Donarudo Dakku                ~~ ドナルドダック
PL                   ^ Puruuto                       ~~ プルート
DA                   ^ Deejii Dakku                  ~~ デージーダック
US                   ^ Sukuruuji ojisan              ~~ スクルージおじさん
BW                   ^ Waru Ookami                   ~~ わるおおかみ
CD                   ^ Chippu to deeru               ~~ チップとデール
HDL                  ^ Hyuui to Duui to Rui          ~~ ヒューイとデューイとルイ

The Japanese characters might not display properly for all people.
