Replaceble fair user Disputed
This is a promotional photograph where the subject has been posed and a working environment has been recreated in a photographer's studio. The subject works in an environment where proprietary knowledge is highly classified from the public. Threrefore, it is highly unlikely that alternate images are freely and legally available.
 * According to Shuhei Fujioka, "Currently, Shuhei trains younger artists in Nagoya and Chicago. If asked where he mostly resides, he will answer, "in the plane", as Shuhei travels extensively between Asia and the US amongst the studios, factories, and retail stores." Sounds to me like he often appears in public in two countries with lots of Wikipedians. The image is replaceable. —Angr 15:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

 * How did you read that as "appears in public"? The studios and factories are not a public area, and the article does not specify in what capacity the subject visits the retail stores. Of course, a photographer may stake out these locations and get an image of him, but they would have a hard time getting a nice picture like this in a retail store or on the street. Also, as the fair use template explained, the subject is posed in an environment where the public has no access to. I will accept that you do not find that the picture falls under the fair use guidelines, so, I even went as far as contacting the copyright holder to get the image released under CC. Which I think I marked when I uploaded the picture again. I understand that you are more of the "strict" followers of the fair-use guidelines, but since the photo was re-realeased under CC, you do not have to worry about it. Oh, and please give others time to reply, there was no debate and you know that. -- Emana 18:35, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
