Japan To-do:

[edit] Ethnicity

More out of curiosity than anything else... is he a Jewish-American who later acquired Japanese citizenship? Or a Japanese-American who's either converted or taken on a Jewish-looking name without converting? Or perhaps one of those rare Jewish Japanese-Americans?

He doesn't look at all Japanese; he looks like a "white" American. (This is from direct observation, aka "original research" and thus of course worthless.) I think I saw a full-page photo of him in this month's Asahi Camera or Nippon Camera (within a short B/W series on 文士 or similar), and I imagine a bit of Googling would turn up more photos. Offhand I know nothing about his nationality or (complexion aside) his "ethnicity" (two attributes that I think are hugely overblown by en:WP editors). -- Hoary 23:40, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
