Notability concerns with a side order of BLP, etc. The only English or Japanese reliable sources I can find concern this actors work in porn, thus my addition of his third-billed role in a film whose title translates as "Latest Soap Technique". The articles on several of the TV series listed here don't mention the actor. This IMDB entry [1] lists all or nearly all porn work. It's even possible that this is a partial hoax, dunno, but in any case, I doubt this actor meets WP:PORNSTAR, don't see any verification that would lead me to believe he meets WP:ENTERTAINER, and don't see sourcing sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Additional sources welcomed, of course, if notability can be established under any of these three policies. --joe deckertalk to me 07:53, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
