The article should be really splitten as this are two different people. The Seiyu (田中 正彦) was born 1954 [1] and the Karateka (田中 昌彦) 1941 [2]. -- 78.53.202.93 ( talk) 21:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply

So, what is the conclusion? Is the karate sensei Tanaka notable and should have an article? So far it seems that article has not been created. -- 95.34.149.224 ( talk) 20:46, 9 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Perhaps I didn't look in the right places? But I didn't find much written about Maasahiko Tanaka (the voice actor) in the Japanese or American press, or in other world news sources. Wondering about notability. I checked in these sources plus other ones: asahi.com/english, fukuoka-now.com, glocom.org, japanecho.co.jp/en, japanfocus.org, japanmarketingnews.com, ojr.org/japan, japantimes.co.jp, japantoday.com, japanupdate.com, seekjapan.jp, metropolis.co.jp. Didn't find much. -- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 00:40, 28 December 2010 (UTC) reply
