Students, even from other universities, are very welcome to participate! Additional names can be added to the list at any time. See the list of "Famous Personages Pages Under Construction" and then reserve your person if that page is not yet under construction.

If you would like to request that some Japanese personality be added to the site, please add your request to the Requests for Additions. Students looking for someone to write about will look at this page for inspiration, but the final choice of who they write about is their own.

If you have any suggestions for additions or changes, please click on the mailing address at the bottom of any page.
