"Daijun" or "Taijun"?

The link to "Daijun Takeda" leads to a blank page suggesting that the search term contains errors. Could this be because the author's name is actually written "Taijun Takeda"? Can someone check on this? There DOES seem to be a wiki entry for "Taijun Takeda"[1]. Come on people. I would investigate/correct this myself, but have been bitten by the rabid wikipedia editor dogs before.175.107.133.97 (talk) 02:31, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Fuku" to "Outfit"

I changed "Fuku" back to "Outfit" (as it was earlier 2013). Calling them "Sailor Fuku" makes absolutely no sense. "Fuku" is merely a Japanese word for clothing, it will literally translate as "sailor outfit/uniform/clothes". I see no reason to use Japanese words here, as English ones fit just fine. As such, "Fuku" has been changed back to "outfit(s)".

Changing all without thinking the context is not good.You can not also take the integrity of the title of the section of the "gakuran".--Uaauaa (talk) 12:23, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Seems a nice compromise on the usage of the word has been made on the page. Still find it slightly rediculess to use "fuku" at all (or shall we start to use foreign words in all situations where speaking of something not from an English country? So if it's Danish clothes, do we call it "Danish tøj"? No, of course not), but certainly much better than before. - Philip

The gakuran was actually inspired by Prussian cadet uniforms

Someone recently edited the "gakuran" section, stating the uniforms are derived from the French military. That is actually not true. They derive from Prussian cadet uniforms. In Meiji Japan mostly Prussia (and the German Empire) acted as a role model for modernization in the fields of military and education, eventually also inspiring the gakuran boy's uniform. Since the French military edit, several articles in the internet popped up, spreading that false information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.128.0.199 (talk) 03:08, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Similar sections

There are a lot of similarities between the History and Usage sections and probably needs cleaning up - I don't have much knowledge on this topic though but I could give it a go? Aboyall (talk) 11:31, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
