How long is a iaito? Someone who knows, please write it in the article. SpectrumDT 22:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Why does repitition in technique lead to the blade's balance being closer to the hilt? How does it make it easier? - Toptomcat 00:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
To the gentleman from Victoria. If you want to continue to be a jerk about proper romanization then please change the title of this page from iaitō to iaito, contrary to the doctrine of WP:MOS-JP. Your behavior is not fitting with the spirit of kendo. Red phase 15:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
The question is: Does Iaito appear in English dictionaries, right ? If it does, it's without macron. If it doesn't, it's with macron. As simple as that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeiShinWiki ( talk • contribs) 12:31, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
Would like to stress the following two points:

I've deleted the Meirin claim to be the inventor of the Iaito and its sources. This is a clearly a lie. Meirin is reselling Minosaka's Iaito and has no proof or no reference whatsoever to claim being the inventor of the Iaito. Minosaka and Nihon Token, the 2 main workshops in Japan confirm this is not true. I will edit and improve this article with reliable sources in English and Japanese in the next few days.
As per the citation of
WP:MOS-JP in the "Proper romanization" section here, and
WP:COMMONNAME, this article should be named "Iaito", as that is the spelling used in pretty much any and all English language sources.
Iaitō can/should be mentioned as how that should be spelled, perhaps, but should not be claimed to be the Japanese spelling or pronunciation, given that any and all sources I've checked, have stated that it should be "iaigatana". (though I'll admit I didn't do anywhere near an exhaustive search. Just a bunch of different
dictionaries [most don't have an entry for it], a quick internet search (
this being one of the results) …and the first few videos that come up on a searching for 居合刀 on Youtube, does have Japanese people pronouncing it "iaitō"), which should be mentioned as the Japanese spelling/pronunciation.--
