[edit] Old Commentary

---

It is hardly NPOV to say that the assassination provoked the annexation of Korea. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:46, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

This ito Guy is japanese. He has Stolen Over Hundred Things From Korea. then was assassinated by Joong - Gun Ahn. - Dgun Sniper

That doesn't mean he's not a figure in Korean history. --Golbez 09:26, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Count?

The Japanese language version gives his rank as 公爵 (kōshaku), which is translated Prince (or sometimes Duke) Nik42 08:21, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Prince implies a relation to the royal family! But he was in no way related to the royal family. Duke is a better choice. It is really not correct to think of Ito Hirobumi as a prince at all! 165.82.72.89 (talk) 02:39, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] trivia

it says that he and hsi assassin shared the same birthdate but according to both of their biographies on wikipedia, the clearly dont.

Various birthdates appear online. Here are no less than 5 I've found - 2 September 1838, 2 September 1841, 16 October 1840, 14 October 1841, 16 October 1841. I don't know how we're sure we've got the right one. -- JackofOz (talk) 03:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Deleted the title "terrorist" on An-jeung-gun. He was not a terrorist. Oyo321 15:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Odd sentence

The article says that "Itō was born as the adopted son of Hayashi Juzo," which is kind of an odd thing to say. Was there some formal arrangement with his birth family before he was born that he would be adopted by Juzo upon birth? Or can we change this merely to say that he was adopted as an infant? --Jfruh (talk) 06:27, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
