Me, Tarzan

The most basic way of saying "I'm Tarzan" in Japanese is

boku ぼく TAAZANN ターザン I Tarzan = I'm Tarzan

but only cute things like children and girls speak like this. The most common way of saying that is

boku ぼく TAAZANN da ターザン だ I, Tarzan = I'm Tarzan

The da だis pronounced together with the TAAZANN ターザン, as if TAAZANNda ターザンだ where just one word.

There are several other ways of saying "is" in Japanese.
