Nothing to wikify

bare bones page. KarenAnn 21:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing currently, either, since it's been expanded a bit. Already wikified. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have done a good job and I, myself, have voted against deletion. KarenAnn 23:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, though there's still a long way to go to make it a great article. (^_^) ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 00:52, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added some citations from a con's website and one interview, do any of you know where I could find more information on this great man? --WngLdr34 (talk) 08:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okawara-designed motorcycle?

I remember reading a blurb somewhere a few years ago about Okawara designing a limited-edition motorcycle for Suzuki or Honda or somesuch manufacturer. It was colored orange with a tinted windshield. For weeks I've been trying to dig up some data concerning it to add to the article, but my searches yield nothing.

If anyone has any information on this motorcycle, please point me in the right direction! --E. Megas 17:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, got it: Okawara designed a Honda scooter called the "Zoomer," first marketed in 2002, sold in Japan and the UK under that name; marketed in the US as the "Ruckus." There was no windshield. XD Information to be put in the article as I get it. --E. Megas 03:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Err...The report appears to have been misinterpreted. Okawara designed a custom model of the Zoomer/Ruckus, a working model of which was built and shown at the 2002 C3 event—he did not design the scooter itself. I'll add it to Okawara's article anyway... --E. Megas 04:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
