Notability concerns with a side order of BLP, etc. The only English or Japanese reliable sources I can find concern this actors work in porn, thus my addition of his third-billed role in a film whose title translates as "Latest Soap Technique". The articles on several of the TV series listed here don't mention the actor. This IMDB entry [1] lists all or nearly all porn work. It's even possible that this is a partial hoax, dunno, but in any case, I doubt this actor meets WP:PORNSTAR, don't see any verification that would lead me to believe he meets WP:ENTERTAINER, and don't see sourcing sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Additional sources welcomed, of course, if notability can be established under any of these three policies. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 07:53, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is a well-known prolific performer in pink film with over 170 movies listed at JMDB and various appearances in TV, movies and V-Cinema documented at AllCinema. He also is referred to in Thomas & Yuko Mihara Weisser's Japanese Film Encyclopedia: The Sex Films (ISBN 1-889288-52-7) p597. There is also an extensive list of credits for him at the Japanese Cinema Database. Cherryblossom1982 (talk) 06:47, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've greatly expanded the article and added several references. I'll add to the filmography when I get the time Cherryblossom1982 (talk) 23:40, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw nomination/keep per Cherryblossom1982's efforts at sourcing. Thank you! --joe decker ^{talk to me} 06:26, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
