Both given names may appear a bit shaky with so many alternatives and only 1 person in ANN.

Four credits, all with excellent kanji sources, and yet none of the contributors added the kanji name to this person which would have allowed them to see the split nature of this entry. What in ANN is it that makes it so unattractive for contributors to add kanji names to persons?
