Talk:Hōko (doll)

Bogus
I cannot find anything in Japanese about this supposed doll. The spelling 歩子 does exist in Japanese, but only as a female given name, most commonly read as Ayuko. The reading hoko also exists in Japanese, but only for the spelling 矛, which means spear, halberd. The corresponding Japanese article for the reading at ja:ほこ does not list 歩子, and the article for the spelling at ja:歩子 does not exist. I cannot find this term in any Japanese dictionary; see also http://www.weblio.jp/content/歩子 for the spelling (no entry exists), http://www.weblio.jp/content/ほこ for the reading (no 歩子 anywhere on that page).

Nominating for deletion as wholly bogus content. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 21:38, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
