I'm not seeing much independent notability for being an illustrator, outside of a primary sourced exhibit announcement. Pinging video game Wikiproject as they might find better notability for his work.AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:20, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not WP:GNG, nor qualifies under Notability > People > "Creative professionals" (WP:ARTIST/WP:CREATIVE). Appears only in listing-type sources; could find no major independent source with more than passing mention. DonFB (talk) 19:52, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable WP:BLP appearing in listing-type sources and the article fails the WP:GNG. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:29, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, leaning towards weak delete - I found this link which isn't exactly significant coverage, but it is something, and I have a hunch that there could be coverage in offline sources. Searching his name in Japanese is difficult as my Japanese is not at a high level of fluency, but what I could find isn't promising. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 15:09, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
