Issue #1:
The Plot Summary provided for the Otogi Zoshi manga not only has key spelling and grammatical mistakes but is badly inaccurate, as it describes the anime episodes and not the manga content, which is a prequel to the anime. A better Plot Summary would be something like this:

"In Kyoto of the late 900s, famine and plague amongst the general populace put the capital city into decline while samurai clans jockey for power and position. One of the most prominent is the Minamoto clan, whose heir Lord Raikou is a rising star due to success against bandits. His spunky and tomboyish kid sister Hikaru so admires her brother that she wishes to cast off the role society has dictated for her and follow in her brother's footsteps, but her father and brother stand against it and the world outside her estate is not so accomodating to a proper young woman. That doesn't stop her, however, from getting into considerable trouble and danger."

Issue #2:
The VA Allison Shipp is an alias (or possibly a married name?) for Allison Keith. This can be verified by checking Ms. Keith's entry in the IMDB or just by listening to Ms. Shipp's voice, which any veteran dub fan will instantly recognize as Ms. Keith's. I tried adding that in her profile, but kept getting error messages.

I took down the old plot summary. Go ahead and post a new one.

Done and credited to Key.

As for Issue #2: I won't make a move until I'm sure she's okay with merging those names. Union issues are tricky.

You shouldn't worry too much about Union issues. We should merge aliases unless the VA asks by him/herself to keep them separate; in that case there should be a comment to that effect on the page.
