The Anime News Network encyclopedia lists Kinryuu Arimoto's birth year as 1940. According to http://www.hiranokikaku.com/actors.html#arimoto, he was actually born in 1941. Will you please fix this error?

Japanese Wikipedia has had his birth year as 1940 with a print source cited, though I probably won't be able to access it. It possibly is where the old info came from and proliferated. Is there any other source that has or had his birth as 1941? His current profile would seem more trustworthy, but there's always the possibility that it's a typo.

I have looked up 'Arimoto Kinryū' in the 3rd revised edition of Nihon Choshamei Jinmei Tenkyoroku (2012), a multi-volume who's who published in Japan by a publishing firm which specialises in reference books.
The part in Nihon Choshamei Jinmei Tenkyoroku about Arimoto Kinryū says, 'Born in 1940.'

I sent the agency an email. Sometimes this works. I'll get report back if I ever get a response.

That is Seibidō's Seiyū Meikan (Seiyū Who's Who), which was published in 1999.
I dug up Seiyū Meikan and checked the 'Arimoto Kinryū' entry in it. It says, 'Born in 1940.'
