Talk:Yamanouchi Kazutoyo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] His surname should be Yamauchi

Watching NHK's taiga drama Komyo ga Tsuji, episode 2, about 30 seconds into the episode... Kazutoyo was earlier referred to as Yamanouchi, as this article's name is saved under. However, , letters sent to his house five years after the Battle of Sekigahara were addressed to him as Yamauchi (やまうけ), based on the hiragana characters on these letters. A sample letter showing the hiragana is shown below.

Historical document was studied by NHK. NHK is very reputable when it comes to research of historical events pertaining to Japan. The point I want to make is that this article should be moved to Yamauchi Kazutoyo seeing many of his accomplishments were done years after the Battle of Sekigahara.

I've no objections. I merged this article with I think 2 others, one of which was Yamauchi, and I've seen the name both ways. Probably better as Yamauchi - that's how it's written in romaji at Kochi-jo, I think. Nobunaga24 07:38, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
