AW: name reading problem - Yamatoya jnr

[J.sharp]

Thank you very much for this answer Roland.
Now another quick, slightly easier question - Shochiku boss KIDO Shiro died
on 1977., but can anyone tell me when he was born?

Thanks a lot.

Jasper

Atsushi's son.

accept the chinese character (?) he wanted to use at birth registration (the
authorities limited the number of characters that can officially be used),
he was forced to use a different character (?) which reads Akatsuki/Gyô.
Therefore the name in his birth certificate is Akatsuki, the name he is
usually called, however, is Gyô.
