Do we really need video game references in every Japan-related article?-- Sir Edgar 05:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
The Encyclopedia Britannica lists one of the alternate names of Himiko as Yamatohime-no-mikoto. She was the legendary deity figure who is said to have established Ise Shrine. I have added mention of the parellels between the two in the Yamatohime-no-mikoto article, and perhaps it is worth adding here? Ka-ru 06:22, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
At least one of these appears to be taken from Conrad Totman. It/they should be referenced or removed. Exploding Boy 05:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
The Chinese character 呼 represents a Sinitic word that means "to exhale, to breathe out; to call" and that is pronounced as hu in Mandarin and as ho in Sino-Korean. The consonant at the beginning of this word is unambiguously h, not k; the Sino-Japanese reading, ko, is due to the regular substitution of /k/ for original /h/ in the process of borrowing and integration of Sinitic vocabulary into the Japanese language. Therefore, "Himiko" should really be read as "Pimiho."
Keahapana, thanks for the great work you've been doing to fill this article out. I just have one issue in regard to referencing.
The guidelines for referencing material on Wikipedia state; "Articles can be supported with references in two ways: the provision of general references – books or other sources that support a significant amount of the material in the article – and inline citations, that is, references within the text, which provide source information for specific statements. Inline citations are needed for statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, including contentious material about living persons, and for all quotations."
Essentially the Encyclopedia Britannica quote in question does not contribute to a significant amount of material in this article, but just to a single line in reference to Yamatohime-no-mikoto. By Wiki standards an in-line reference should be used. To write "(see the Encyclopædia Britannica link below)" really doesn't correspond to the standards at all and should not be used. Either use an in-line reference or leave it unreferenced, simply covered by the general reference in the "References" section. This standard should be adhered to throughout the article and I'm not sure why you removed it in the first place.
I am once again adding the in-line reference back to this quote. Other references that contribute to just a single contentious point should also use in-line references. Ka-ru 08:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
I inserted #Astronomical object following explications of the name, followed by #Popular culture, which I changed into a bulleted list. Himiko (astronomical object) will have to be started by someone more knowledgeable of astronomy than Pawyilee ( talk) 11:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
This article should mention something about the recent archeological developments regarding Himiko's tomb. Two places to start are:

The reference to Himiko in the Samguk Sagi is uncited and unsubstantiated. Upon searching it in google, the only sites that come up are ones that copy text word-for-word from wikipedia. Either a reference should be found for it, or the information should be removed from the article.
