His name in his native Amis language?

Some sources say his native name is Attun Palalin, but others give Suniuo. Which one is correct, or both? – Kaihsu (talk) 13:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese and Chinese wikipedia say Suniuo. The source given for Attun Palalin is behind a paywall and I can't even see it. Evan1975 (talk) 17:11, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is a fair number of sources for Attun Palalin as well, including scientific literature. I added one of them (that appears to be accessible on Google Books). - Toothswung (talk) 17:44, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese Name

As a native born in Taiwan, WHEN did he get the Japanese name and when/where was it assigned? As it is in use, there must be some official record of it.Starhistory22 (talk) 23:12, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese names were introduced in Taiwan in 1940, see Taiwan under Japanese rule.Toothswung (talk) 17:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Press name

Source of 4.25 mil yen

The source says the 4.25 mil came from the Japanese government and donors in Japan, not the Taiwanese government as the article text currently claims. The source actually says that, following public outcry (from both Japanese who wished to welcome Nakamura home as a Japanese war vet and Taiwanese residents of Japan), the government made an exception for Nakamura and offered him \3.5 million in total, to which was added \750,000 in public donations, with the implication being that these donations came from the aforementioned Japanese citizens and Japan-resident Taiwanese. The GBooks preview doesn't currently give page numbers, so it's possible that the paragraph I'm reading (which begins "Not surprisingly, this sum...") is not the one being cited as appearing on p. 260, and p. 260 says that the Taiwanese government chose to match the total amount Nakamura received from the Japanese government and charitable donations in Japan, but in that case the current text would still be misleading.
