Honors: civic honor have more gravitas than being mentioned somewhere in science fiction

Folks, let us distinguish between having an airport named after you (a decision that is the resul of a civic committee with many inputs) and fiction (which is the result of probably one person in a creative moment). Make sure that the "fiction" honors (especially the "science fiction" honors) get corraled into their own section so that people who which to skip over such material can easily do so.

Are there any source for this?

The claim that character of Great Teacher Onizuka, Eikichi Onizuka, was named after Ellison Onizuka seem dubious at best. It's more likely that he was named after Japanese boxing world champion Katsuya Onizuka. 125.1.89.65 12:13, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that was totally unfounded. I removed it.--Ben Applegate 09:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Which version of Onizuka's Kanji name is correct?

I noticed that a same IP user changed Onizuka's Japanese Kanji name from "承二" to "承次" on all wikipedia language versions in the same time. Although the pronounciation of these two Kanji names are exactly the same, I'm wondering which version is the more accurate/correct version? Can anybody confirm the source of his Japanese name since all the relative articles on internet I found are actually copies from Wikipedia, hence useless to used as a reference.--SElefant 19:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

At his memorial in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, CA, the image has his name in Katakana. I have no idea what his name will be in kanji. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
