Keep Here's an archived interview with him: http://web.archive.org/web/20090204094602/http://www.mbs.jp/chocolat/interview1.html, why isn't he notable? Moscowconnection (talk) 23:57, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
His body of work does not appear to me to meet the notability criteria for artists here: Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Creative professionals Illustrating a handful of Manga books and one interview on a web site (in Japanese) just isn't enough. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- What's wrong with Japanese? The web site is a reliable source. Moscowconnection (talk) 09:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I added the biography of Eisaku Kubonouchi. Case closed, I hope. Moscowconnection (talk) 09:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He simply hasn't created an important enough body of work to meet the notability criteria. Being interviewed once and illustrating some books just isn't enough per the guidelines. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Created a manga that was made into a 45-episode series. Must be a notable creation then, otherwise it would've have been made into that many episodes. And his first work was made into a movie. The Japanese article shows more information. [1] Wannabe was also made into a television series. So, two of his creations were notable enough to be made into television series and one was made into a film. Dream Focus 12:45, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
