Hi, I came by to promote this, but the article is an WP:ORPHAN. Please link it in at least one other Wikipedia article so it won't get an orphan tag. Also, can you indicate whether he graduated from Osaka Prefecture University? Yoninah (talk) 19:28, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Yoninah, I've deorphaned the article. I haven't seen any sources specifically state that he "graduated", just that he was "educated at the Osaka Prefectural University". Regards,TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 16:31, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Restoring tick per Lajmmoore's review. Yoninah (talk) 17:45, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
