I just translated most of the Japanese page on this subject as best I could, leaving a few sections that I found dubious or just too challenging. I have unfortunately introduced something of a mess of footnotes and citations and strange fusions of the two, as found in the original Japanese article. Because I have done an imperfect job here, I will note for future reference a few areas that could use correction or expansion:
There is no image in this article, but recovered probably-Hayato shields do exist and are apparently on display in some museums: a simple image search for 隼人楯 should reveal some. As far as I am aware, no such images are currently available on Commons, but it would be really great if we could get an image of one for this article.
I skipped a section describing the ceremonial role of the Hayato and their connections with various other families. This could still be translated.
Formatting is probably somewhat awkward.
Half of the footnotes probably belong in the main article, some of the footnotes may be ripe for deletion.
