[edit] Kane's name in Japanese

From everything I've seen in Japan featuring Kane or Shane I'm pretty sure his last name is always written in Katakana rather than Kanji. Can someone else check on this? Lostinube 11:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

That's true. It's because he's American-born despite being of Japanese descent, so even though he has a Japanese name, he's a gaijin, so he gets lower status due to Japanese institutionalised racism, including having his Japanese name spelled as a foreigner's would. 75.60.169.62 19:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

That wasn't really the point of what I was saying but okay, it's good to have some support for my statement. Also, Kane is not just Japanese-American. His mother, I believe is of Chinese descent. Lostinube 11:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
