A fact from Tanaka Shōsuke appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 May 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Tanaka Shosuke is the first recorded Japanese to have travelled to the Americas in 1610, on the Japanese-built ship San Buena Ventura?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/May.

Wikipedia:Persondata

Can a more expert editor check that the Japanese name I have included in the Persondata for this article is correctly entered? It should be in appropriate order for cataloguing (e.g. the main English name is given as Shosuke, Tanaka). Also, I can only find reference to a place of birth by consulting the categories: is it true that he was born in Kyoto Prefecture, or is this simply an assumption? Many thanks, TheGrappler 08:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The familly name is Tanaka, the first name Shosuke. He was from Kyoto, so it is assumed he was born there, but I do not know it for a certainty. Regards PHG 09:45, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

is there any news of the status of the replica ship after the tsunami?

The news shows the town being wiped out by the tsunami. I visited there several years ago and would like to know.
