I think this is a WP:HOAX. No references cited. No G-hits aside from wikipedia and forks of the wikipedia article. Escape Artist Swyer Talk to me The mess I've made 13:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Almost certainly a hoax. In any case fails WP:V, WP:BIO and WP:OR. Nsk92 (talk) 14:52, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --YixilTesiphon TalkContribs 16:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are plenty of Google hits for "Ujio", the shorter version of the name given, but they pretty much all seem to be either about The Last Samurai or people who chose the username Ujio (almost certainly inspired by The Last Samurai).  Given the story in the article about Ujio historically being killed by Matthew Perry, I tried Googling the names Ujio and Perry together; still plenty of hits, but again, all that I looked at were based on the Last Samurai.  I even tried searching Google Books and Google Scholar; still nada.  I can find no evidence that Ujio really existed as a historical figure as the article asserts.  Until and unless someone turns up some reliable sources verifying the claims in this article, I'm recommending "delete". --Smeazel (talk) 19:21, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as bollocks, created in a couple of edits among the thankfully small number perpetrated by "Pedrossi", another of whose edits is this one, a charitable interpretation of which would be that some Rice University students like to edit after a couple too many beers. -- Hoary (talk) 09:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing believable in the article. Fg2 (talk) 10:44, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No reliable sources, no indication sources might be available. Most likely a hoax. J Readings (talk) 12:41, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
