  • Comment: Many other potential hooks if these aren't adequate; Naito is a fascinating figure who is largely a complete unknown in the west.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I'll suggest going with ALT1 once the minor issue is solved. Bharatiya29 22:45, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
