This guy is a real person. He is an official candidate in Japanese national elections and his poster is displayed at election time on official billboards throughout Tokyo alongside 20 or so other election posters. He is a looney, but he is legit. He is also very distinctive, and I know first hand how annoying he is: he woke me up one morning I had called in sick. :Vincent 07:43, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

"Matayoshi Jesus" is better
"Jesus" is better than "Iesu", since this is the English version. The article should be moved to "Matayoshi Jesus".61.46.253.55 09:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

move to Mitsuo Matayoshi -- enochlau (talk) 10:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I propose a move to Matayoshi Jesus Jesus Matayoshi, because it appears to be the most common form of his name according to Google. Below are the different Google results for various forms of his name: It can be seen that Matayoshi Jesus is the most common name. But since it contradicts MOS, we have to use Jesus Matayoshi instead. WP:MOS-JA does permit a English name to be used even if it contradicts proper Japanese romanization, if the English name is more commonly used. Please support or oppose below. Awyong J. M.

Discussion of move
Matayoshi Jesus is inappropriate for the article title given WP:MOS-JA. Jesus Matayoshi would better conform with Manual of Style. Also, google hit information posted above is not quite accurate because it doesn't filter out hits of Wikipedia mirrors using "-wikipedia". -- Exitmoose 05:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * OK I've included the Google numbers with "-wikipedia" in the search. I would be okay with Jesus Matayoshi as well. Awyong J. M. Salleh 06:23, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've amended the proposal to be MOS-compliant. Awyong J. M. Salleh 06:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The latest counts you gave only show a marginal majority for Jesus vs. Mitsuo. Not enough to invoke the pseudonym clause of WP:MOS-JA in my opinion.  And, if you ignore multiple hits for the same labeled video(s) on "-youtube" (where most of the hits on the first page come from), the counts are:
 * Matayoshi Jesus: 395
 * Jesus Matayoshi: 192
 * Mitsuo Matayoshi: 201
 * Matayoshi Mitsuo: 585
 * So, this infers that outside of a very isolated internet meme, his birth name is more popular in English than his chosen name. Besides, there is nothing that I could find on his official page which lists his romanization as "Jesus".  "Jesus" is our English translation of his Japanese translation of Iesous or Yeshua.  If his last name was Oka, I don't think we would be discussing to change the wikipedia article name to Hill.  Neier 06:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
