Why, Whisper to me? Why? Why all the unnecessary redirects for this person? Why do you persist with this ridiculous campaign? Exploding Boy 06:35, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC)

The correct spelling

edit

It's supposed to be spelled out like "Shoutarou Morikubo", because as you can tell, Morikubo has three kanji characters for his first name with long "O's" and it's meant to be spelled out. Whoever started out this article somewhat is not aware how the romanization is supposed to be done. Again, it's NOT "Shotaro Morikubo", it's supposed to be "Shoutarou Morikubo" instead. — Vesther 03:20, 16 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

It wouldn't be Shoutarou Morikubo, it would be Shōtarō Morikubo. Plus his main webpage uses "Showtaro Morikubo". The cow says MOO!!! 04:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)moocowsruleReply

One that looks good in a low cut g-string?

I'm not sure if his favorite type of woman belongs or not, but, why does it link to Crayon Shin-chan? Is this a series inside joke? 74.116.137.2 17:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Requested page history move

The page history should move from Showtaro Morikubo to Shōtarō Morikubo, because I couldn't move the history myself due to restrictions and also the name should be Shōtarō Morikubo per WP:MOS-JA. Greg Jones II 00:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Also, Shōtarō Morikubo was redirected to Showtaro Morikubo before I moved it to Shōtarō Morikubo as per the Manual of Style Japan related articles. Greg Jones II 01:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Whoops. I didn't realize that the official trade name was Showtaro instead of Shōtaro. Both Showtaro and Shōtaro are correct romanizations, but the trade name should come first as per WP:MOS-JA and as per naming conventions, the most common name should go first.

Contest move as per all of the above. It seems that I agree with all of the comments. Greg Jones II 03:29, 1 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

ISTM that we can close this listing on WP:RM. There's strong consensus not to move. Andrewa 09:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Requested move

This page should be moved to Shōtarō Morikubo per the Manual of Style (Japan-related articles). Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 01:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Nope. Per WP:MJ it would be Showtaro Morikubo. The cow says MOO!!! 04:07, 16 November 2008 (UTC)moocowsruleReply
