Learning everyday something new.   But really: basic stuff like this needs to find it's way into the rules, instead of being buried somewhere deep down in the forums. How can the community be supposed to know about these things? |

@reybr: but it is different from his real name, very much so: Charles Kalani, Jr....  I just believed GreyHulk when he said that it was his given name. If it isn't then everything should go in the first name field according to the rules. | | |

Because of the word "Professor" in my opinion. Nope. What about SIR Patrick Stewart or Sir Ian McKellan, it's simply a prefix. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Indeed, but sometime this guy is credited Toru Tanaka (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World´s End) , even if Professor Toru Tanaka is the common name, it seems to me that "Yoru Tanaka" is a stage name and Professor is a title John Wayne is a stage name. Nicholas Cage is a stage name. and so forth. Professor is a Prefix, jst like Sir, Dr., Rev., General. What makes Toru Tanaka different. And here we go again, round and round the mulberry bush for the umpteenth time. And the Rules do cover it, Grey huulk, EXACTLY AS CREDITED, he is not credited as Toru tanaka...is he. NO. Professor is not a name is it...NO, it is not. how do people with a Prefix deal with their names Professor Toru/Tanaka. Nothing else. This is the way it has ALWAYS been done. The CLT has no relevance in determining this, that only determines his Most Commonly Credited Name. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Different person
IMDb Thank you ninehours, Green arrow! Anyway he is credited Toru tanaka in at least another film (3 Ninjas, can someone confirm?) This is a mini biography from imdb: Quote:
Built like the proverbial Patton tank, Professor Toru Tanaka was arguably the successor to Harold Sakata as the archetypal Asian henchman who possessed incredible strength, and clobbered those foolish enough to tangle with him. Born Charles Kalani, he was a successful wrestler and served for over ten years in the US Armed Forces attaining the rank of sergeant. Tanaka first appeared playing a Japanese sumo wrestler on the TV series Little House on the Prairie, however his first film role pitched him as an insidious villain in the chop socky An Eye for an Eye (1981) in which he faces down Chuck Norris before being kicked through a large table. In total, Tanaka appeared in only 23 films including appearing alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger twice in The Running Man (1987) and Last Action Hero (1993). He is cited Tanaka, like Wayne, Pitt, Cage... | | | | Updated List of Accepted Birth Years | | | | Last edited: by Kluge |

I know my profile for this movie has it as Professor Toru Tanaka but I can't speak for the actual credit. I will try to remember to check when I get home tonight if no one does before that. The timing on this thread is kind of funny because I had noticed like a day before the tread that the entry was Professor\Toru\Tanaka while other profiles I have with him had it as Professor Toru\\Tanaka. Having not known this was a stage name I 'corrected' my local to Professor Toru\\Tanaka but did not yet contribute when all this came up. I think this stage name thing needs clarification because if you look at that list provided I'd bet willing to be that most of those are put in as regular names and not the stage name rule because most people probably don't realize they are stage names. I mean, how should Michael J. Fox be parsed? That could be argued as a stage name because his real name is Michael A. Fox (A. standing for Andrew I believe) -Agrare | | | | Last edited: by Agrare |

If we treat this name as a stage name, and enter it all into the first name field, then we have to do that with every single stage name regardless of how it looks. That means 'John Wayne/ / '...'Tom Cruise/ / '...'Nicholas Cage/ / '...'Brad Pitt/ / '...is that what we really want?
