Akira Tetsugake
Appears to be a hoax; can't find coverage of this supposed artist in reliable sources, all of the manga he's supposedly authored are either non-existant or hoaxes (see Articles for deletion/Soul Blade (manga)) and the creator of the article,, has a history of creating hoax articles.

 * Speedy delete G3 as blatant hoax by blatant hoaxer. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 05:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral Some g-hits, so it doesn't appear to be a hoax, but probably not notable. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 05:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment We'd need an admin to see just how many hoax articles the user has created; they're deleted so I can't tell. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 05:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Request granted User:Kira99er has one deleted article, Sakaru Akazawa. It was delted bu User:Mailer Diablo as a result of Articles for deletion/Sakaru Awazaki Cheers Dloh  cierekim  05:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Kira has a long history of creating self-promotional articles; see this AfD, this one and this one, all of which were linked to on his talk page. The entirety of Kira's edits have been creating pages about manga and characters he created, or adding original research to a Naruto article. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 05:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. I'll put your fidnigs on the Soul Blade afd.  Dloh  cierekim  05:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment It seems likely to me that the creator of this article, Kira99er, is Akira Tesugake and that he is using Wikipedia to promote Soul Blade. viz http://comixpedia.com/manga_artist_looking_wrighter#comment-30723. Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  05:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn Dloh  cierekim
 * Delete and block user for persistent hoaxmongering. As a side note, it is 99.9% likely that Akira Tetsugake is not his real name, just some made-up weeaboo name he gave himself. JuJube (talk) 07:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
