Talk:Hiro Yamamoto

KANJI OR GTFO
Why is this katakana here? Because he’s of Japanese descent? Why don’t we have キム・セイル and クリス・コーネル in those articles, too? Or, hey, why not Ким Тайил and Крис Корнелл? Nobody’s added കിം തയ്യില് yet.

Hiro Yamamoto is an American who writes his name in English, and if we don’t have a representation of it in another script he or his family uses, or that carries some useful information the Roman alphabet can’t, it should be dropped entirely. —Otaku Carcass Oner 16:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree


 * Writing his name in kanji the Japanese way (山本 紘 Yamamoto Hiro) is even more absurd for an American bassist who was born in Seattle; especially when the Japanese Wikipedia writes his name in katakana (ja:ヒロ・ヤマモト) and styles him the way they do with any western name. I'm for deleting this nonsense. -- Zerolevel (talk) 17:02, 27 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Still no citation for "Hiro Yamamoto (山本 紘; Yamamoto Hiro) was the founding bassist...", so re-removing it. —  AjaxSmack  14:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
