Google search did not turn up any relevant sources; thus there is no way to verify the accuracy of the subject's biography on this article. Has starred in TV/movies a few times, as either supporting roles and very little main roles. Only supporting roles in anime. Possibly a rising star, but for the time being, it's too early for the subject to warrant his own article. Sk8erPrince (talk) 07:00, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Starring character in the live-action The Prince of Tennis movie in 2006. Other stuff can be sourced from the JA wikipedia article for starters. Shin is a notable supporting character in Nana 2 and notable characters in the live-action Gantz films.  Starring in an anime like Btooom!!, and having parts in Moon Child.  He also stars as Armin Arlert in the live-action Attack on Titan movies.   AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 08:58, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * While you make excellent points, I'll wait for further input from other users. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 09:26, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep List of roles seems sufficient. Sourcing is a problem but if we take into account the refs over at ja.wiki I don't see this as ideal breaker. We might need to trim the prose to remove possible BLP issues but otherwise I don't see any real concerns.SephyTheThird (talk) 11:02, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, multiple reoccurring roles in TV programs. Adequate and regular coverage in Western media. I'd say twice as much in Japanese media that doesn't come up in searches. Karl Twist (talk) 11:38, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Good points, everyone. This AFD will be closed. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 11:48, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
