Talk:Koji Yakusho

message: "He was the youngest of five brothers."  - Should "was" be changed to "is"? The past tense suggests the actor is deceased. --Kslain 04:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Charisma poster.jpg

message: From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MOS-JP#Names_of_modern_figures
Spelling, including macron usage, of the name of a modern figure should adhere to the following, in order of preference:
1. Use the form personally or professionally used by the person, if available in the English/Latin alphabet;
Since Koji Yakusho appears in international films, can anyone provide evidence that Koji Yakusho uses a macron in his name in cinema credits? JoshuSasori (talk) 08:25, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Manohla Dargis of the New York Times has referred to him "the great Koji Yakusho."[2]
The recent edits seem like an overall improvement, but does this really fit in the opening? Most people will not have heard of Manohla Dargis, and the quote is a little bit meaningless (it could be sarcastic even). JoshuSasori (talk) 03:51, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Kōji Yakusho →  – His name is spelt without a macron on his own site, Japan Zone, JFDB, and on the majority of Roman-character posters for films he has starred in, including Under the Open Sky, The Third Muder, Silk, Tokyo Sonata, Memoirs of a Geisha, and 13 Assassins (though not Babel, on which it's spelt "Kôji Yakusho", but that's the only time I've seen that used officially).
According to WP:SPNC, the exact spelling that appears to be preferred by a person themselves should be followed regarding minor spelling variations (though when they are best-known under a completely different name, that should be used instead). Tempjrds (talk) 23:27, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
