One refference is added on the article. NAHID 07:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Real name

This edit claims her name is not public, although it is being found in her IMDB page. Anyone know about this? Since the information is public, it could be displayed, however I have contacted the IP to see if he can explain himself here. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 13:58, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Her real name is officially stated as secret, hence wikipedia japanese edition do now allow to write her real name on the article (Japanese wikipedia has an official policy not to write informations that should be kept in secret, to stop itself being like some gosip papers). I do not understand policies of english wikipedia though.--Peccafly (talk) 16:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Can you point the policy, please? It can be useful for future reference. Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons (which is the policy we would be using here) indicates we should be conservative. I am going to ask there, but it seems a reasonable request to keep it out of the article for now. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 20:02, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not censored. Who cares what Japanese wikipedia's policy is. Hill of Beans (talk) 19:45, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not censored has BARELY anything to do with this. Even though her name is kept a secret, we should still post it. Moocows rule 07:39, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Japanese version of Wikipedia has a lot of quirky policies that, if implemented in the English version, would render it pretty useless. I suggest we abandon the Japanese version to the Japanese, and politely point out to them that a person's name is not something that is considered a secret in cultures outside of Japan (and as a long term expat in Japan, frankly it's not considered a secret in Japan either, outside of Wikipedia). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.16.185.229 (talk) 12:35, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:BR1 Mitsuko Flashlight Face.jpg

The image Image:BR1 Mitsuko Flashlight Face.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Best album chart position

How did she broke Ayu's record if Ayu's A Best Black & Whit were in no.1 and no.2 position while her's is in no.1 and in no.3? I can quite get it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.213.70.39 (talk) 04:14, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(non-admin closure)

Kō Shibasaki → Ko Shibasaki – WP:COMMONNAME, it's the spelling that has been consistently used at her official site and on her DVDs for the past three years, and one used commonly in English print media (e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4]). The spelling Kou Shibasaki is also used in English, but as it reflects the spelling previously used by her and not her current choice, "Ko Shibasaki" is the best option. Prosperosity (talk) 07:19, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support. As per WP:COMMONNAME, if that's how it's widely rendered by her and other media, that's how we should present it on Wikipedia. --DAJF (talk) 07:40, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
