Birthdate confusion
[edit]There are three different birthdates (two in the text; different one in the birth category, which I changed, originally it was 1589); does anyone have the actual birthdate?--FeanorStar7
The texts which have been translated by the Jesuits in Japan state 1587.
Japanese family name
[edit]It is unknown as to whether the first kanji character of Peter Kibe's original "Kasui" name was the "katsu" character (symbolising "life"), or the "kawa" character (meaning "river"). If the former, "Kassui" is a possible transliteration into roman letters from the Japanese. The latter is also a possibility, however, and is excluded by this "Kassui" spelling. I think that "Kasui", which is the spelling used by the Jesuits of Japan, is better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.148.66.203 (talk) 03:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Image Addition
[edit]I added an info box which needs an image, I don't have a photo and am unsure of how to proceed with others copyright of their depiction of him. Their is a nice photo titled "ファイル:Petro Kasui Kibe statue.jpg" in the Japan wiki but am unsure of how to apply it in English wiki. Thank you, to any future contributors! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AfaPorcaro (talk • contribs) 22:58, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
