Kingsley | 1 comments Hi,

Would someone be able to merge these two authors?

Shotaro Tokuno
Shoutarou Tokunou

The first author should be preferred as the merge target. I'm not sure if Goodreads supports multiple author name languages, but if so the author's actual (Japanese) name is 得能正太郎.

Many thanks!

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments Hi,
is this author published in English (or any other Latin alphabet) language?
If not both profiles should be merged with the one under Japanese spelling.

lethe | 16369 comments Hi Olivia, on some of the Japanese covers the author is also listed in English, as Shotaro Tokuno. Therefore I don't think that profile should be merged.

(I believe Shoutarou Tokunou is a transliteration of Shōtarō Tokunō.)
