[edit] Possible name mixup

I belive this article should be called Kent Derricott. I saw him speak and this is the life story he told us. I think the author got the name mixed up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 164.76.183.74 (talk • contribs) .

Kent Derricott was born in Canada and was in Japan as a missionary in 1974, according to his profile page at Sankei. As far as I know, Derricott still lives in Japan (at least as of 2001). He does Deo Deo commercials all the time. --日本穣 Nihonjoe 18:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Perfect Japanese

When I was in Japan, 1992-94, I was talking about Kent Gilbert with someone and asked about his Japanese. They said his Japanese was 'Umae' in a "im being nice" tone to their voice. I then asked about Kent Derricott, and they were quick to respond with a 'Kirei' and a 'batchiri' with a "machigai ha nai" thrown in there. A lot of Gaijin are able to learn Japanese well enough to be understood with little or no accent and even get on TV and stuff, but to be praised like that is rare. Is there anyway to put this in his page with out using weasel words? It is a pretty high level of Japanese for someone not Native to Japan to obtain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BillyNair (talkcontribs) 23:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
