Akira Souji (#12737)

[Cedille]

Has this name ever been credited for any album? If not, like ZUN/Junya Ota, not worthy of an entry.

[Secret Squirrel]

Also, is there confirmation that Akira Souji is the real name behind both of theses aliases?

Not sure if you could call it confirmation directly, though. But I, too, wouldn't create an entry with the little information we have...

I was the one who created the entry. I had always been curious about who was akiropito. The source on Overclocked Remix seemed most plausible, but I really don't want to be responsible for providing misinformation. I apologize if I made a mistake.

[Secret Squirrel]

No problem. We should just be cautious without firm proof. I've removed the entry.

Thanks. I really didn't mean to cause trouble; I just thought this was a piece of information that was just missing. I guess not, huh? Sorry again.

In addition to PC-E Tokimemo, there's another connection between Akira Souji & akiropito through Contra: Hard Corps, which is also mentioned in akiropito's discussion thread. The identity seems pretty solidly established to me.

I would agree with not creating a new entry for the name, though, since it wasn't used on any album.

[Secret Squirrel]

I usually defer to you when it comes to artists, so if the evidence looks good, then I think it would be okay to add his real name to the artist profile.

[Cedille]

It might sound overly self-conscious, but I think OCR sourced our discussion (we sorta collaborate with each other) so I was'not worried about credibility.

[CHz]

Oh, I totally missed the part about OCR.

I can confirm that OCR used VGMdb as a source for its artist entry.
