Actually, I think I should have done it the other way round: leave the hiragana version and delete the kanji one. Cause according to the Japanese Wiki, his real name is 伊藤健一, but he goes under the name of いとうけんいち. (Both names are pronounced the same.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:55, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't know how to explain this well... Japanese names are usually written using kanji characters. But if you don't know a particular person, you often can't guess how to read his/her name correctly. Cause each kanji character / set of characters has multiple different readings. Therefore, the Japanese Wikipedia adds a hiragana spelling after the article subject's name. And when I saw "伊藤 健一 いとう けんいち", I thought someone who is not familiar with the Japanese language copied the hiragana spelling (いとう けんいち) along with the subject's actual name (伊藤 健一) from the Japanese wiki article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:15, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think it is confusing even now, even to me. Feel free to format the first sentence differently. But the problem is that the {{nihongo}} template has only one field for Japanese text. --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:59, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
