Peach was always Peach. The US didn't use the name till later on. The US altered it to toadstool. Besides. Her last name a lot of times, is Toadstool. So it didn't really get lost. We then did the reverse with Bowser. He was Koopa. but then it got too confusing to call every turtle koopa. So he was renamed Bowser. JPN didn't care, and left it alone. He's accepted in JPN as either name.
