Nationality

edit

This statement, and the BBC article it's based on, appear to be incorrect:

"She switched to British nationality in March 2022, as Japanese citizens are not allowed to hold dual citizenship."

As noted in the Japanese version of this entry, and a Japanese-language interview with Miyazaki that's linked from it, the LTA did suggest to her that she switch nationality, but ultimately she applied for an exception to become a British player while retaining her Japanese citizenship, which was approved in March 2022. aragoto (talk) 08:14, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Name

edit

I feel like perhaps the article should be moved to be listed under Lily Miyazaki, it's overwhelmingly the name being used by the media, and she lists Lily first on her Instagram account. It's possibly a little confusing even that the article is coming up as Yuriko Miyazaki as a lot of coverage of her doesn't even use that name. KaisaL (talk) 08:20, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Lily Miyazaki is the name she clearly goes by and is used in most sources, and the few other times it's always Yuriko Lily Miyazaki, never just Yuriko. I'll move it. --QueenCake (talk) 23:00, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
