File:Shotaro Ishinomori.jpg

This is a photograph of Shotaro Ishinomori taken some time before his death, found here.

I, Ryulong, feel that this photograph of Shotaro Ishinomori can be used under non-free content policies at Shotaro Ishinomori because it is a low resolution photograph of an individual who passed away several years ago, and no free alternatives that depict the individual exist. It is to be used in an encyclopedic context that does not negatively affect the original photographer or other copyright holders in any way.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:17, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
