Junko Funatsuka

Ok, so I started on this one expecting a split request, but I think I just need to create a new person named Junko Iizuka (飯塚淳子), just need some nods of approval. You see, I've been getting some credits for an animator named 船塚純子, and the only way to read 船塚 is Funatsuka according to ENAMDICT. Conveniently the only Funatsuka we have in the encyclopedia is Junko here, and 純子 can be read Junko. So, horray.
However, she already has the kanji name 飯塚淳子 added, and according to ENAMDICT again, 飯塚 cannot be read as Funatsuka. The source for the reading is the Vecceed for NieA_7, and that's the only hit Dan's anime credit search engine gives for 飯塚淳子. Straight google shows a woman on facebook named Atsuko Iizuka, but I have no reason to believe it's the animator.

Here is the credit breakdown:

飯塚淳子

So yeah. Basically if I get agreement I need an editor to hide the current kanji and replace it with the above. And I think the NieA_7 credit needs to go to another profile. Vecceed shows 飯塚淳子, which should probably be Junko Iizuka, but if somebody thinks it should be read differently or has screenshots that show 船塚純子... I kind of doubt it though, two characters are different. I have the Touch: Cross Road fansub though, and the credits to indeed read as above. That one could potentially be a mistake on the Japanese side, though 舟塚 can also be readFunatsuka. I would probably just leave it. Maybe add a note to the source or something.
