English (Geneon) credits are not trusty enough?
Edit: I don't know if I'm allow to say this, but I found somewhere to watch the credits in the japanese version, and "ジェスター" (Jester) is credited to "秋元 羊介" (Youseke Akimoto). |

Companies often make mistakes when translating credits. |

Unfortunately English credits have been known to include mistakes (although Geneon is usually better then FUNimation, who have misspelt the name of their own CEO). Japanese credits are not immune (using the wrong reading for a name is not uncommon) and in this case we had two conflicting sources so it is wise to seek confirmation before making any moves.
It appears, given what you say about the Japanese credits, that on this occasion it was an error by the operators of D2_Station. Since we know where the error came from, we can set that piece of data as false with a note to that effect in case anyone tried to re-enter it. Since you're the one who brought this up you can enter the correct credit yourself and it will be credited to you. There's no point merging them since there is only this one isolated example, and it is possible that there is or will be a real Youichi Akimoto at some point. |

Anyone can make mistakes, and an error in a list of names isn't something you can easily spot proofreading unless you are familiar with everyone on it (blatant spelling mistakes on the other hand..)
There's nothing wrong with using English credits, although you do need to be wary of warnings regarding suspiciously similar names etc, since Japanese names can and often are written multiple different ways in English. It is actually much worse when errors occur in the Japanese credits as there is then rarely any other source to turn to. |

A mistake in translation of name it seems. I believe this two are the same:
Takehiro SONOBE Takehiro MUROZONO The character "Eddy Gallarde" here is listed to Takehiro Sonobe, but in the source for this entry "Eddy Gallarde" is credited to 園部丈裕 (Takehiro Murozono) and also in the anime credits "Eddy Gallarde" is credited to Takehiro Murozono too. By the way I've a question, I think this may not be the right place but I couldn't really find a concrete answer to this subject in here and didn't want to make a thread for this simple question. The question is if there's a mistranslation of a character name, should I make an error report and make a new credit entry with the correct translation? |

I noticed these when going through the cast of Crusher Joe:
OHTSUKA, Chikao as Murphy ÔTSUKA, Maruo as Murphy The Japanese film credits confirm that it is 大塚 周夫. Checking kanji readings on wwwjdic, I'm not sure where maru came from. EDIT: Also, one of the Control Room Officers, KUMAKURA Hiroyuki (熊倉 裕之), is credited as 熊倉 寛之, presumably same reading. Was this a typo by the Japanese, or something else?

You certainly can - "normal" editors can only make minor changes to obvious typos in entries (capitalization, punctuation, doubled letters etc). To correct an entry we have to set it as "false" (which preserves the history of the submission, so we know where an error came from preventing it being re-entered and retaining it against the submitter's account as quality check) and re-enter it. We can re-enter based on an error report, in which case it is credited to the person who raised the error, but if you re-enter it yourself it does make things a little easier (especially if you state that you have already re-entered it correctly). |

Duplicate person:
Masayuki TANAKA Masahiko TANAKA If I'm not wrong the right one would be Masahiko TANAKA. I noticed this while looking at the characters "Brad Wong" and "Brad Woo" which both are mistranslations of "ブラッド・ウォー" (Blood War). Gungrave cast really has many mistakes, especially in character names translation. Last edited by K-Shuun on Tue Sep 06, 2011 2:11 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Thats only partly right. Denpa Onna "Station announcer" is dubbed by 田中雅之 which could be that guy (tanaka masayuki).
Didn't check the other roles, there could be more. The staff credits are probably all wrong too. |

I see now where is the mistake, someone confused Masayuki with Masahiko. The picture and blog in Masayuki TANAKA is Masahiko's. Edit: I will submit error report of Masayuki's in kanji name. |

Tomoko Kawase
News Link and single role in Piroppo as Pikki Tommy february Birth Name Tomoko (智子) Kawase (川瀬), Two News Links and Theme Song Performances for Paradise Kiss and Piroppo Tommy heavenly Birth Name Tomoko (智子) Kawase (川瀬), Website link for Tommy heavenly6, Theme Song Performances for Gintama and Kamikaze Girls Tommy heavenly6 Real Name Tomoko Kawase, two News Links, Theme song performances for Gintama (same song credited as above), Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 2, and Soul Eater The first entry is her birth/real name, and the news link links both to her and to the fourth entry. The single voice-acting role's source no longer exists. The second and third entries includes the kanji for her birth/real name, and the source for Paradise Kiss confirms that she is the one doing that role (listed as Tommy february6). The official website linked lists her both as Tommy february6 and Tommy heavenly6, which seem to be alternate aliases for different projects. This supports the latter three being the same. The discography pages for each alias confirm Tommy february6 for the Paradise Kiss credit, and Tommy heavenly6 for the Gintama, Kamikaze Girls, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 2, and Soul Eater credits. I can't find an online source for either credit from Piroppo (nor the title of the song to check against her discography), so I can't confirm nor debunk the role or song credit. My recommendation would be to merge all four under the name Tomoko Kawase, with aliases of Tommy february6 and Tommy heavenly6, with the credits listed under the individual alias. I would also recommend that a link be made to the entry for the brilliant green, as she is the lead singer (this is also confirmed on her official website). Furthermore, her aliases currently display "february" and "heavenly"/"heavenly6" as her given name, thus all caps, whereas they are officially written as all lower-case. Is there any way to fix this?

I know that Tommy heavenly6 has been brought up here somewhere before.
