[edit] Video game references

Do we really need video game references in every Japan-related article?--Sir Edgar 05:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. It is a very noticeable trend and generally adds nothing to the main article. I initially added a {{Toomuchtrivia}} tag indicating that it should probably be removed. That was soon replaced with a "Himiko in Popular Culture", which, while not much, is perhaps a slight improvement. There was recent discussion on this topic here. Unfortunately, it was never finalized. I suggest following it up there. If a decision is made and formalized, then it can be pointed to when editing. Bendono 12:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historical theories

The Encyclopedia Britannica lists one of the alternate names of Himiko as Yamatohime-no-mikoto. She was the legendary deity figure who is said to have established Ise Shrine. I have added mention of the parellels between the two in the Yamatohime-no-mikoto article, and perhaps it is worth adding here? Ka-ru 06:22, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
