[edit] BoA (Born in South Korea) under Musicians
She is not Japanese. She is Korean. She is just popular in Japan and sings some japanese music. Since this is the list of Japanese PEOPLE, I removed her. nakjisanjeok
[edit] Update
Sigh. This page needs INCREDIBLE update :( Revth 14:11, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
The page claims that names are in Japanese order but in fact many of the names are not.Brettr 06:19, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
[edit] Sin-Itiro Tomonaga
I included this non-Hepburn romanization because that's the name under which he won the Nobel Prize for physics.
[edit] Name order
What is the justification for using the Japanese name order for modern people on this page? The Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles) says to use the usual name order. For example, Toshiro Mifune, rather than Mifune ToshirÅ. I noticed User:AutumnSnow changed the list of actors into Japanese order, can someone justify doing that please? I did do a revert on the page but I have undone it again, since I would rather not take that kind of drastic action. Perhaps there is a reason for this name ordering.

[edit] Akebono
Removed Akebono from the list (Sumo) because errr.... he isn't Japanese. He's from Hawaii. Saiing 13:30, 7 March 2006 (JST)
