AW: reading japanese first names

[Roland Domenig]

Namiki Shinsaku in his authoritative "Purokino zenshi" gives the name as Uemura. 
In the 1976 edition of Kinema Junpo's "Nihon eiga kantoku zenshu" the entry written by Tanikawa Yoshio also gives Uemura Shukichi and states that his birth name was Uemura Osamu (or Shu) written with a different character (???) which supports the reading Uemura. But with Japanese names you never know.

In my book, I used Kamimura Shukichi. I confirmed this with Makino  
Mamoru, and I think I saw it in rubi once.

Kamimura was one of the key members of Prokino, and seemed to have  
had a historical bent. He was one of the first to write the  
movement's history....back when it was still going on.
