Move "Masao Kato" to "Kato Masao"[edit]

I would like to move this to Kato Masao. That name order is how go players are always known, internationally. Charles Matthews 09:06, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

His book was published with his name as "Masao Kato" in English, and my Shonen Jump magazine has a "Hikaru no Go" feature that orders his name as "Masao Kato". (Yes, the comic book series is all about Go, yet the publishers use Western order). Therefore "Kato Masao" is commonplace, but not universal because of the book and because of the USA Shonen Jump. WhisperToMe 20:23, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Still, the commonly-used name is Kato Masao, and has been for more than 30 years. The usual rule is to use the commonly-known name. Charles Matthews 20:36, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... how about the article itself can be moved to "Kato Masao" with a mention that his name is ordered as "Masao Kato" in his book and by some other sources. The article can be moved back to "Masao Kato" if Anglophone Go players start to prefer that order. WhisperToMe 20:45, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article introduces a "Japanese person". "Kato" is the family name, which should be in front of given name according to the order of Japanese name. The name order issue was discussed so long ago. It seems clear that this article should be moved to "Kato Masao". Why is it still here?? --Neo-Jay 08:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

Why was the article moved back to Masao Kato, after it'd been agreed to using Kato Masao? Can 02:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Can. A new rule for Japanese person's name was established. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles). It states that "For a modern figure (a person born from the first year of Meiji (1868) onward), always use the Western order of given name + family name." This rule was established at 21:59, 13 February 2006, nearly a month after the last move. --Neo-Jay 04:29, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Titles and Runners Up table[edit]

To have these two tables without any caption is rather confusing. I had to spend a few minutes wondering and comparing the two of them before I realized what the second one meant. I think it would be better to have just one table with the years in which he placed second in parantheses. --KagamiNoMiko (talk) 17:55, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fact Check: Komi Rule[edit]

I've noticed on the Turkish page for Kato Masao that the komi change was attributed to him and noted as being in 2004. Yet on the page about komi it is stated that the change was made in 2002 which I remember to be so. I saw that the English version of the pages had the same inconsistency. Can anybody clear this up for me?--MyError (talk) 00:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
