 * Keep, he has a significant role as the voice of Takeshi Gouda in Doraemon, the most famous TV cartoon for children in Japan, and a long list of other credits as found on Japanese Wikipedia. JoshuSasori (talk) 08:22, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Normally, I would say that he isn't notable despite meaning criteria #1 of WP:ENT since I have a very high standard for it (see Articles for deletion/Sachi Matsumoto), but this is different. He plays a major role in Doraemon, one of the longest-running and most-beloved anime in Japan. His role in Doraemon should probably be just enough to establish notability, but more coverage would be appreciated. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:13, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per NLH5. There are undoubtably Japanese-language sources that can be used to improve the article; hopefully this will be done. - The Bushranger One ping only 06:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per JoshuSasori and NLH5. Cavarrone (talk) 07:54, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. IMDB and the subject's own blog do not constitute a level of in-depth third-party coverage or sourcing adequate to justify a self-standing biographical article like this. --DAJF (talk) 01:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Have you tried a Japanese search? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:44, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
