 * Comment: If he was the principle or sole artist on even one of the games listed he'd certainly be notable, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to determine if that is the case. - Mgm|(talk) 14:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I think he is worth the mention. One thing is he got to design a figure for Konami's Busou Shinki series, not as big as Hajime Katoki but its a start. He is kind of getting known right now having landed big jobs like designing the lead Gundams of Gundam 00 and lead mechas of the newer Super Robot Wars titles which is a well-known game series in Japan. Previously the designers who designed the lead mechas are famous designers like Hajime Katoki and Kunio Okawara. - Iron2000 (talk) 16:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm not seeing much notability here.   jj137  ( Talk ) 21:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - But needs references to indicate role/importance of person in production of titles listed. --DAJF (talk) 00:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - The current English article is just a straight translation of the Japanese Wiki article, which is fine in and of itself. However, Google searching in both English and Japanese fails to yield any reliable sources that would indicate notability (although he is listed on IMDB).  Furthermore, the claims raised in the article do not satisfy the criteria of WP:BIO, as he is only a minor contributor to the shows he's worked on. --jonny-mt(t)(c) Tell me what you think! 06:22, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
