I think his name in the brackets should be written as Tarō Yokoo, because that's that 横尾 太郎 translates to and Japanese family names come first (just like in Hungary). But I'm afraid to change it because I've seen comments in the source code people being strict about names. The same was applied to Hideo Kojima, Shigeru Mijamoto, Goichi Suda, Shinji Mikami and Akira Yamaoka before so I think it should be done here as well.
His family name is Yoko, so the order is correct. Since he is mostly credited as "YOKO TARO" in his games, the japanese style of writing his name was adopted by western fans.
