Objection to renaming to "Obayashi"

I suggest to revert the name of this article to Obayashi Corporation, or rename to Obayashi Corp. because;

"Obayashi", in some cases spelled "Ohbayashi", is one of common Japanese surnames such as Tatsuzo Obayashi (space physicist), Nobuhiko Obayashi (film director), Motoko Obayashi (sports commentator, ritired vallyball player) and Ryusuke Ohbayashi.
In this case the word "Corporation" is a part of the company's name, and it is essential to clarify that this article describes the company of "Obayashi Corporation" (Obayashi Gumi; 大林組).

For more explanations and examples, please refer to Talk:Takenaka. --J o 05:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to renaming this article to "Obayashi Corp." because it seems to be no objection to my suggestion. --J o 15:35, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
