Shouldn't this page be titled "Ota Gyuichi" by the rules?
- It is おおた not おうた. Minor quibble, but I think since it is oo rather than ou it should be "spelled out" - I did create a redirect with "Ota" though, just to prevent search problems. --Kitsuno 20:47, 1 December 2006 (PST)
- Does that mean we will have Oosaka, Oomori and Ootsu also?--Bethetsu 01:38, 2 December 2006 (PST)
