[edit] Born in Korea or Manchuria?

The only info I could find on Takarada's birthplace online at short notice:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0847361/

and

http://godzilla-uk.net/guides/castcrew/takarada/index.html

both say Korea. If anyone can provide a source for the city (or area) he was born in, it might clear up this question. For now, though, it looks like he was born in present-day Korea, not Manchuria, so I am reverting 60.42.34.144's edit. Rizzleboffin 18:49, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I reverted back to "Manchuria"/"China", because Japanese sources are saying he was born in Harbin.

I'm taking these as correct, and assuming English sources stating "Korea" are mistaken... Rizzleboffin 19:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
