[edit] Assessment

1) Was Taira actually Japanese, or was he Ryukyuan?

2) To describe him as a sensei is extremely vague. Sensei can refer to a lot of things; it would be helpful to change the intro section to describe him as a karate teacher or a martial arts master or the like. Whatever's appropriate. LordAmeth 11:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

3) Taira was Ryukyuan, more specifically, he was Okinawan. I will add supporting reference to the main entry. Dougdaulton 10:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] neutrality?
