Is anyone aware of the actual name of this person? I've seen it written as both Ichirou and Ichiro with very little consistency and I'm entirely unaware of which is his given name and which is his family name, although I assume "Agata" is the former. BurntSky 00:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Agata is probably the family name. "Ichiro" might mean something like "first son" in Japanese. The final vowel in "Ichiro" is probably the long Japanese "o" that is represented by "ou" or "ō" (or sometimes just "o"). Badagnani 19:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
