Domu[edit]

Domu was created in 1980 but republished in 1983. Putting the publication of Domu after the publication date of Akira is confusing and incorrect. I'm changing the date to 1980. Origami dragon 04:18, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography[edit]

Typically, a filmography denotes work done as a director. Many of the films listed are merely scripted by Otomo. These should be identified to in brackets next to the title, ie, Metropolis (Writer only) and so on.

Biography[edit]

Shouldn't the link to Akira in the biography section link to the Akira manga page, instead of it's anime counterpart?

No more manga section ?[edit]

I'm amazed by the absence of manga section in the article as he started as mangaka.

Katsuhiro Otomo and Spriggan[edit]

Katsuhiro otomo is referenced in the Spriggan anime movie wiki article as being a "Supervisor" of the project. Isn't that worth mentioning in the article?70.79.55.114 (talk) 03:04, 1 April 2012 (UTC)BeeCier[reply]

Spelling[edit]

Why does IMDb list his name as Ohtomo? 198.161.230.10 (talk) 18:59, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
