Japanese first nicknamed Prinz Eugen as "pudding" simply because to pronounce Prinz Eugen is basically プリンツ・オイゲン (lit. Purintsu・Oigen) however, the word "pudding" in Japanese is (nick)named プリン (lit. Purin) therefore Prinz Eugen is affectionately nicknamed as "pudding".

Etymologically speaking however, プリン is ambiguous as it could also mean other things that may also be nicknamed as such. One notable case that basically sums Prinz Eugen as pudding is basically because the actual food in question was derived from Westerners and really pudding is somewhat a hit in most Asian countries.
