Would it be okay if I added the category "Japanese individuals" to the characters with obviously Japanese names, for example Natsumi Suzuki or Aki Sugiyama? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SorenaJ (talkcontribs).

I'd, personally, rather not. Unless they are known Japanese individuals (i.e. Tamotsu Iwamoto or Minaka Takahashi), I think we'd better err on the side of caution and label those as British (as attending Hogwarts School seems to suggest); like Cho Chang they might simply be of Oriental ancestry but be naturalised British. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 18:30, August 13, 2012 (UTC)
