== This is a Good Article == 

 I'm promoting this article to GA status, based on the qualifications for Good Articles. It is well written, clear, and very well referenced. The tone is neutral, and it appears fairly comprehensive in its treatment of the subject. I appreciate the good fair use rationales on the images. 

 I do have a few suggestions for further improvement: 

 * This article does not completely follow the Manual of Style. Thats OK, because it is well written, but to polish things up, bringing things into MOS compliance is key. Here are some examples: 
 * I edited the lead paragraph as an example. Please look over Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) for suggestions for biographies. Lead paragraphs should include the date of birth (and death, if applicable), place of birth, and the 'reason we care about this person'. The previous intro paragraph (sentence?) didn't include any of these things. It was a simple update, however. There may be other small issues to look at, to make the article conform to the guidelines for biographies. 
 * Place names do not always conform to the MOS either. IE, Tokyo (Japan) would be better formatted as Tokyo, Japan. 
 * Image formatting could be adjusted. You may wish to play with image formatting for better flow and asthetic value. Right now, all the images are aligned right. Try making some aligned left, and play with their size and position between paragraphs to make them flow into the article better. Guidelines aren't strict here, but it would be worth a minute or two of tweaking to make them flow better. 

 This is a well done article, about someone who I'd never heard of, (though I'll have to look up his work in the library, now!). Its in good shape now, and with a few more tweaks, will be truly excellent. Keep up the good work.
