  Birth day is "January 19th"
  
  Is there the one being able to prove she was born in 1980?
Her name is usually written "KOTOKO", not "Kotoko" - should the article title reflect this? --maebmij
Please see this page for some problems related to this article. How should we rename this article ? I suggest KOTOKO_(artist) ... | ipridian 10:23, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I am wondering why somebody would remove the year of her birth from the biography. Any ideas?
Re: I wonder that as well. To anyone who further edits this article on KOTOKO, such as removing parts of information, please post in the discussion and post what you removed and why? Otherwise I would consider it a minor vandalism.--The great orochi 06:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

message: There have been a arguement about it before but, was there any official statement on KOTOKO's birth year since then? If there isn't, I will go ahead and remove the birth year from the article. Miyuki (talk) 21:29, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Birth year

message: I've did a check of some of the external links, and it appears that it's a lack of footnotes that's bogging down this article as those links do back up a bulk of the info. In the interim, I added a footnotes tag and modified the existing source one to reflect the BLP status of this article... Ranma9617 (talk) 02:08, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, there was a no photography policy at KOTOKO's panel at Animazement, therefore pictures taken without permission there should not be used in the article.
In fact Japanese talent agencies are extremely strict about photos that can and can't be used. No photos should be used without the agency's permission.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TakesugiShinsaku (talk • contribs) 
:Even if that's true, I doubt the press weren't able to take photos. And even if that were the case, the photos are in the public domain, so therefore they're fair game on Wikipedia.--十八 19:16, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Besides, this is the English Wikipedia and not the Japanese Wikipedia, and it's also a global encyclopedia used by everyone from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, so Japanese laws don't apply here (as stated repeatedly on Wiki, only the laws of either the U.S. or Florida apply here), so unless it is also the case with American laws, that won't be a problem. Even if photography is prohibited, how the photos are licensed will still be up to the photographer. Say if I go to Area 51, I could take pictures of it even if that's illegal, but I can still freely license it anyway I want. When it comes to images here, what matters is not the individual locale's policies, it's that such images are still compatible with Wikipedia's licensing.

replies: text: The real question is whether the photo was illegally taken and whether the photo is released under a free use license. Since this photo was taken in the United States, US laws and specifically the laws in North Carolina were Animazement was held will apply. Generally in the US, people are free to take photographs out in public so long as there no expectation of privacy (and there was non here). While some venues may have a no photography policy, it is not illegal to take a photo of someone in a public setting (which almost all conventions are) nor does a no photography policy make it illegal to take photographs at such an event. And finally, her agency doesn't control the copyright of the photo since it was taken by someone else, so it won't matter whether they give permission or not. So long as it is a legal, free use image, Wikipedia can use it. —Farix (t | c) 10:50, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: As such, I'll now boldly bring back the image. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:54, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If TakesugiShinsaku believes the photo was taken in violation of the laws of the United States and North Carolina, then s/he needs to take his/her case to  where the image resides. But so long as the photo remains on Commons, the there is no problem using it on the article. —Farix (t | c) 11:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
