I have attempted to make the first few paragraphs of this article easier to read for speakers of English. I realise the article was originally written in Japanese and then translated into English, and even though the skill of the translator was not perfect I believe that the meaning of the words was preserved.

I would like this article's original author to read what I have written so far and comment on the accuracy of my re-translation. If you are happy with what I have written so far I would be happy to continue.

It reads like copyvio--did you figure out the source? 24.17.48.241 08:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

If you mean the original Japanese version, I don't know. If you're talking about the English translation, I translated it myself on-the-fly from the not-altogether-correct English that was originally on the page.

From long experience - I would say the guesses are out. Quite likely compiled from various Japanese references, unlikely to be a unitary source. Charles Matthews 19:28, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
