| Post subject: | Japanese name question |
Doing research on some Japanese players and find the following two Nihon Kiin pages confusing: http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player/htm/ki000150.htm http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player/htm/ki000152.htm The pages call both players Miyazaki Hiroshi, one of which (I think the former) must be wrong. Can any native speaker help with the correct translation? Thanks [Answering my own question:] Found another reference calling the first player "Watanabe Reiji", which sounds about correct. Nihon Kiin website is normally very accurate. But this appears to be a rare error. |

Yeah, that does look like a pretty funny copy/paste error. |

I am not a native user of Japanese, but the kanji and katakana in the first link both state "Watanabe Reiji".... Dunno how it would be possible to input the wrong name, but stranger things have happened (just let a standard English-language spell-checker loose on Japanese names, frinstance). |

Hi macelee, Probably: Watanabe Reiji -- 渡辺 礼二 7p -- ワタナベ レイジ -- http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player/htm/ki000150.htm Miyazaki Hiroshi -- 宮崎 洋 6p -- ミヤザキ ヒロシ -- http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player/htm/ki000152.htm |
