• Keep http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=308 Check the news. This one [1] is ample coverage. This person is clearly notable for their work. Dream Focus 01:36, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• • Nobody is disputing the notability of Sakura Wars, but notability doesn't automatically transfer just because a series is notable.∞陣内Jinnai 03:45, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Has played a significant role in a notable work, thus the person is notable. Look at how many notable things they have been a part of. Dream Focus 06:56, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Satisfies GNG by making "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field". Sakura Wars is a core part of the gaming world, spawning manga, anime, and even a themed cafe, among other things. I'll try looking for sources.

• Comment: No point doing anything till after the AfD, but his family name is Hiroi so the article (if kept) should be moved to Ōji Hiroi. Shiroi Hane (talk) 17:22, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
