An "Atsuhiro Yamamoto" is credited for the GameCube game Kururin Squash! -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kururin_Squash! -- considering Motoyama wrote music for the prior Kururin games on GameBoy Advance, it being the same person seems either a pretty done deal or a flaming huge coincidence.
Added Atsuhiro Yamamoto as an alias - however feel free to contest it if it's incorrect. |

Motoyama is properly credited in the game under his Japanese name. This is just Wikipedia being Wikipedia. :V

I decided to search for "Kururin" and "Atsuhiro Yamamoto" for kicks, and I see the error actually originated on MobyGames, where user jotaro.raido mistranscribed the name as 山本 and then took a guess at the reading of this person who doesn't exist, because he guesses at every single name he can't find a source for. His entries are a minefield of potentially bad name readings.
So I guess I meant that this is just MobyGames being MobyGames? |

jotaro.raido huh? Luckily he responds to messages (and fixes errors when pointed out) so I'll let him know.
EDIT: Mobygames isn't letting me log on, so I'll have to try later... Last edited by dissident93; Sep 13, 2013 at 07:33 PM. |

This is a great case study for how misinformation spreads ^^

Mobygames not linking Japanese people by their Kanji is asking for troubles like this one.
