– No need for prefectural disambiguation. Using searches through Special:PrefixIndex, there appears no other topics under the exact titles of these 5 uniquely-named Yamagata cities.

The readership stats are based on the pages' page information details. The use of readership stats is based on the opinion of @Sitta kah: in an old RM discussion at Talk:Zamboanga City. Such usage of stats is, according to Sitta kah, a great way of determining the PRIMARYTOPIC.

I'm unsure about some other cities in Yamagata Prefecture, but I'm certain that Yamagata, Yamagata and Tendo, Yamagata fail <cityname> only format, lest Yamagata, Yamagata's notability would exceed the notability of its mother prefecture and another city of the same name in Japan, though MOS-Japan in practice tends to consider prefectures as "more important" than its cities, with the exception of internationally-notable cities like Osaka and Hiroshima.

This RM is also in accordance to the general consensus at "Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles/Archive 27#RfC: Mandatory disambiguation for Japanese places?," which agrees that uniquely-named Japanese cities do not meed provincial disambiguation.
