This is a character that does not have real world information to establish notability. It is currently covered in the its two main articles (List of Samurai 7 characters and Seven Samurai), and there is no current assertion for improvement. TTN (talk) 22:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Samurai 7 characters. Curious Blue (talk) 05:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, then redirect. Why does this one of seven deserve his own page? Fee Fi Foe Fum (talk) 05:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect per nom. So self-evident could be done via WP:BOLD. Eusebeus (talk) 15:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I've been hoping someone from the Japan project would comment on whether notability sources are available in Japanese. In silence, though, let's untangle this assuming no notability. Per WP:FICT, the second thing to do (after searching for references) is merge, not delete. But where is, contra Eusebeus, not self-evident, and not only because the Trivia section contains notability assertions (in need of better citations) -- this is a character who appears in multiple fictional works with separate articles. Fortunately, the appearences are clearly marked. So: merge Film Version and Trivia sections (marked as citation needed, as that's a cleanup not deletion issue) into Seven Samurai, and the Anime Version section into Samurai 7. Because the latter is the derivative version of the character, the redirect left behind should point to Seven Samurai. —Quasirandom (talk) 08:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
