Talk:Mirai Nagasu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nagasu's parents own a sushi restaurant [1] and they converse in Japanese.

You can see it interview of TV news show of ABC.[2] Mirai's father Kiyoto says 「じゃあ、上手にできた？」(Jaa, jouzu ni dekita? - Did you done so well?),then Mirai replys 「うん」(Un - Yes!) in this program.

Kiyoto and Ikuko are Japanese, so that Mirai Nagasu's nationality is Japan/States beacause of Jus sanguinis until she select one of them when she grow up. See also Japanese nationality law.

I can not find any English source that she has Japanese nationality. But there is a some report of that in Japanese news paper. So you can see it through machine translation.[3] This is not quite precise(as my English :-P), but maybe you can get what it mean s.

Once again, neither her nationality nor her ethnicity matter when it comes to the country she represents. Nagasu has never skated for Japan, therefore putting Japan in her infobox is erroneous information. I have no problem calling her Japanese-American, but I don't want to put in her article that she has dual citizenship unless it can be sourced in English. Kolindigo 19:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I neither don't want to delete her article that she has dual nationality. It decided by the law, not your opinion or imagination at all.
I gave you source, by sports nippon newspaper which is one of the most a famous newspaper like Sports Business Daily or SI in U.S. which affiliate with Mainichi Shinbun. - Strastra 19:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
