Korean extraction[edit]

The link provided to source the claim that Kobayashi is of Korean extraction does not work. I tried to find a source that claimed he was of Korean extraction, and couldn't. The article, 일본 연예계 70%는 한국계?, which discusses Japanese entertainers of Korean extraction does not mention him. So I'm taking out the claim until someone can provide at least some back-up for it.

The other Akira Kobayashi :)[edit]

The only Akira Kobayashi I knew before seeing this article on today's DYK was the type designer. There's no article on him at the moment, but if one is written, a dablink will need to be added. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are already 2 pages of wiki for the typographer in Japanese and Chinese. Thanks to the Wikipedia's short-sighted monolingual designs, it may have never reachable by English audiences. Jacob Poon 23:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
