Voiced bilabial fricative
Ah, it seems I slightly misunderstood your summary. However, the mention of an analysis of the Japanese /w/ as a bilabial approximant on the Japanese Wikipedia article on Japanese phonology, ja:日本語の音韻, appears to have been added without a citation. I don't have access to Ladefoged (2001) but the subsequent edition (2011, p. 233) mentions only as a possible transcription of the semivocalic equivalent of the compressed vowel.

So if you want to add such an analysis to an article like Voiced bilabial fricative, you have to cite a source. You also removed, accidentally I believe, the citation to Okada (1999) about the fricative as an allophone of /b/ in the process. As they say, please be bold but also careful.
