Lots of discussion in the archives about her nationality and what it is. Consensus so far is she is dual national American and Japanese and that Japan isn't enforcing its prohibition on dual nationals. However MOS:CONTEXTBIO for the intro sentence considers only two descriptive possibilities and Japanese-American, an ethnicity tag meaning an American with Japanese ancestry, isn't one of them. The article can either list her as "Japanese and American" if she is considered as having significant notable activities in both countries or, based on significant identification and connection to Japan as just "Japanese". Article up to now has defaulted to "Japanese" with a description of American birth in second sentence and listing both in infobox. Suggest article sticks to that. Also something that supports just Japanese in intro, is American is tagged in infobox with "expatriate" which means does not reside in US – Japan appears to be her sole residence by article content.

It has been a week and it appears the consensus of those who cared to comment was to list both Japanese and American in the intro based on having notable work in both countries. I will make the change and refer to this discussion. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:49, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
