Talk:Koji Yakusho

Untitled
"He was the youngest of five brothers." - Should "was" be changed to "is"? The past tense suggests the actor is deceased. --Kslain 04:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Name
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MOS-JP#Names_of_modern_figures

Spelling, including macron usage, of the name of a modern figure should adhere to the following, in order of preference: 1. Use the form personally or professionally used by the person, if available in the English/Latin alphabet;

Since Koji Yakusho appears in international films, can anyone provide evidence that Koji Yakusho uses a macron in his name in cinema credits? JoshuSasori (talk) 08:25, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

the great Koji Y.
Manohla Dargis of the New York Times has referred to him "the great Koji Yakusho."[2] The recent edits seem like an overall improvement, but does this really fit in the opening? Most people will not have heard of Manohla Dargis, and the quote is a little bit meaningless (it could be sarcastic even). JoshuSasori (talk) 03:51, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Kōji Yakusho → Koji Yakusho – His name is spelt without a macron on his own site, Japan Zone, JFDB, and on the majority of Roman-character posters for films he has starred in, including Under the Open Sky, The Third Muder, Silk, Tokyo Sonata, Memoirs of a Geisha, and 13 Assassins (though not Babel, on which it's spelt "Kôji Yakusho", but that's the only time I've seen that used officially).

According to WP:SPNC, the exact spelling that appears to be preferred by a person themselves should be followed regarding minor spelling variations (though when they are best-known under a completely different name, that should be used instead).

 * Support per nomination. No evidence that this Japanese actor's name is transliterated into English with the aid of diacritics nor that he himself transliterates it in that fashion. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:08, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
