Articles on Colonel (Ret.) Harry K. Fukuhara have the wrong middle name. His full name was Harry Katsuharu Fukuhara and not Harry Katsuji Fukuhara (his father). I know as he was my father and Harry Katsuji Fukuhara was my grandfather and much of data found on Google have his name wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:9601:24E0:DD37:3BAE:646E:7678 (talk) 06:26, 12 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I haven't checked Google, but none of the on-line references in the article give his full name. It would help if you could provide a WP:Reliable source that gives his name correctly.  Meanwhile, I'll remove the wrong middle name.   Dbfirs  14:41, 12 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Japanese kanji (Chinese characters) in general have several readings and could have much more when they are for proper nouns. His given name is 克治, and the name itself can be read as Katsuharu, Katsuji or many other different forms (although Katsuharu and Katsuji seems to be more frequent than others). So you will often see that the kanji name is correct but the reading is wrong, which is the case here. --Ryota7906（会話） 2019年8月14日 (水) 22:55 (UTC)
