Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katsuichi Nagai
While it might be different if those sources only mentioned him in passing, they specifically talk about how the person himself set up ''Garo'' and the lengths he had to go to. (like getting funding from Sanpei Shirato) It is the case for many notable figures that they will always be mentioned in the context of their major discovery, but as the jawiki article shows, there is much to write about Nagai himself. Looking at the sources already in the article I can already see information that is relevant in the first one: "whose sunken cheeks showed the effect of decades of bouts with tuberculosis and hard living". I think it'd really just be an issue of hunting down sources and there'd certainly be more Japanese-language ones. I also think the second point of  applies: "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." ''Garo'' was very influential in the history of manga and many artists today got their start there. It would be a shame to have no information on the man behind it all, especially when unlike so many other ventures, it really was mostly a one-man show
