This is a recreation of a deleted article back in June. I can't speedy it because it is slightly better than the last time but nothing concerning notability has changed in respect for this person. Still no verifiable references and written as OR. Tavix (talk) 23:29, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep There's a source, so its probably summarized from it and not OR, though I am not able to tell. Buit considering the material cited previously, there are other sources also. DGG (talk) 03:15, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Response Yes, there is a ref but is it verifiable? Tavix (talk) 04:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * In a word: "Yes". I've verified it just now. Wily D  12:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Notability demonstrated the usual way. I see no reason to plead for a special exception to the usual practice in this case - individual is notable both in the regular sense and the jargon sense. Wily D  12:18, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Mentioned in the book The Cambridge History of Japan on page 163, preview on Google books here.--Boffob (talk) 14:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Boffob and the fact that this page passes WP:N.  ~Beano~  (talk) (contribs)  17:02, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
