[edit ]

Some historical facts added from the book and website of Professor John F. Morris, Miyagi Gakuin College, Sendai Japan. Professor Morris holds a Phd. in Japanese history from Tohoku University 7/15/2005

Added section on the NHK Taiga of Date Masumune to Masumune in popular culture section. Besides seeing the drama myself (it was very good) data was also drawn from http://www.japan-zone.com/modern/watanabe_ken.shtml. I got the reference for Masumune's Taiga being the most popular from that site. - KMC 6/9/06

[edit ]

No idea what importance rating or quality level to give this article, as I know nothing about Masamune besides that he wore a banana on his head. However, it should be part of wikiproject japan, I am sure.Erk |Talk _{-- I like traffic lights --} 01:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Removed Reference to Final Fantasy from "Popular Culture"

[edit ]

Not only is the fictional Masamune weapon probably named after Masamune Okazaki rather than Date Masamune, there is a complete wiki page referencing the weapon at Masamune (video game weapon). - CredoFromStart 16:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I deleted this incident. Japanese people easily judge that these are quite different! --Wushi-En 22:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

独眼"竜"

[edit ]

Just wanted to ask a question, (delete this when answered please)doesn't the kanji "竜" means turtle or does it mean dragon too? (or is one eyed dragon is not directly translated?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pensuked (talk • contribs) 11:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

The nickname is correctly translated. 竜 means dragon. 亀 means turtle. 222.228.164.4 (talk) 05:43, 3 December 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

"Masamune Date"

[edit ]

Shouldn't this be at "Masamune Date", like with most Japanese names? I can understand "no" names, but this isn't one. Despatche (talk) 03:20, 4 July 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

No, but thank you for bringing your concern to the talk page. See the policy on Japanese names at MOS for names. - Boneyard90 (talk) 11:48, 4 July 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Birthday

[edit ]

Shouldn't his birthday be on August 3, 1567?

No, the date is correct, as written in the article. His birthdate is Septemeber 5, by the Gregorian calendar. In the old style, traditional Japanese calendar, he was born on the 3rd day, of the 8th month, in the 10th year of the Eiroku era, or to put it another way: Eiroku-10 year, 8-month, 3-day (永禄10年8月3日). Some people like to translate 8月 as "August in the traditional calendar", or some similar wording, but that's really misleading. See the Japanese version of the article, which has both dates, labelled. However, if you think it would be helpful to include the Japanese dates in the textbox, you (or I) could add them, as long as they're clearly labelled. - Boneyard90 (talk) 19:01, 11 May 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
