    This video takes a look at how Crash Bandicoot 4 was changed for the Japanese version, or as it's known in Japan, Crash Bandicoot 4: Tondemo Maruchibāsu - tondemo meaning outrageous/unexpected and maruchibāsu meaning multiverse. (Note: I somehow said the game was called Tondemo "Universe" not "Multiverse" in both the voice and on-screen text. I'm sorry but I'll have to chalk this one up to big sleep deprivation etc. and my brain telling me one thing but my hands typing another and somehow not noticing!)

      At the time I thought it looked like a baggy part of the glove, like in the Western version. And I also zoomed in really close on a high resolution image and the color looked like the glove's too. His fingers are also pretty large. I guess it's debatable, however. Or maybe I'm just being silly... In which case, I apologize.

    I am Japanese.
    Regarding the package design of Crash 4, the actual product version has four fingers after all.
    Perhaps they unified the design of the crash.
    The crash of 4 feels like a design that is also received in Japan.

    If you look closely at the Japanese N-Sane Trilogy box, it looks like Crash does indeed have 5 fingers there; you just can't see his pinkie because, of course, it's curled behind his thumb as anyone does to show the number three on their hand, and the hand itself is tilted in a way that makes that fifth finger very difficult to see anyway.

    I don’t get the four fingers thing and why is it so taboo. In fact, the Super Mario franchise has a lot of characters that have four fingers. I have a Japanese copy of Yoshi’s Crafted World and Yoshi still has four fingers on the box art. Granted, none of those characters that have four fingers are human, but so is Crash Bandicoot and the Modokuns from Oddword; so what gives?

      One of the Japanese pronounciations of the Kanji for 4 (shi) also means death. Therefore the number 4 is considered an unlucky number, like 13 is an unlucky number in the West. 4 just happens to be a more common number than 13.
