Kim Mi-jinsu → Mizuho Katayama – WP:NAMECHANGES (and MOS:IDENTITY, more or less). Kim Mi-jin-su was her WP:OFFICIALNAME for the 1988 Olympics, but Mizuho Katayama is the name under which she is professionally active today.

 * Comment Mizuho has been the given name she used all her life (apparently she never had a real Korean given name; "Mi-jin-su" is just the Koreanised character-by-character reading of the characters she used to use to write her Japanese name Mizuho, and now she uses different characters for Mizuho anyway, which would be read "Man-jin-bang" in Korean). And after her marriage, the Japanese sources all use her married name Katayama rather than her birth surname Kim or her earlier Japanese pass name surname Kōchi (Korean media seem to have stopped mentioning her after 1991, and I can't find any English sources at all besides her Sports Reference profile, which only covers the 1988 Olympics). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 14:13, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. A line call perhaps, but reader experience is IMO enhanced by the move. Andrewa (talk) 19:14, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
