[edit] Name format

I asked the same question over at Miura Aika's article: why is this named "Watase Akira" if her stage name is "Akira Watase"? If it's customary to list Japanese names this way, it doesn't seem to be consistent with the few other actresses I looked up. And on a completely unrelated note, it seems very creepy to list someone's blood type in a Wikipedia article. -EdgarAllanToe 14:06, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

It seems that ion Japan it is standard to list a person's blood type along with their measurements with regards to pornography. (Arundhati Bakshi (talk • contribs)) 00:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pubic hair

I don't exactly find the following addition pertinent to the article:

Unlike most of the current generation of porn actresses, Akira has never appeared with completely shaven pubic hair.

This seems completely unencyclopedic to me and has no place in a biographical article. Am I right or wrong in this? Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud — WP:PORN BIO?} 22:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

• Eh. If you look at the article history, you'll see that I softened the phrase from what the original poster (82.41.169.160) had put up, but after thinking about further I reckon I should've cut it out entirely at that time. You did right by my books. Tabercil 23:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I saw the history. Still, I thought it was better to remove the entire thing. Thanks for agreeing though! -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud — WP:PORN BIO?} 02:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
