Individual evidence

  1. ↑ SportsReference.com writes about school / gaming careers at Shida Middle School, Tokyo Higher Normal School, Tokyo Imperial University , Japanese sources indicate the Tokyo School of Humanities and Sciences for the latter. The normal school and university (today both University of Tsukuba ) formed a common soccer team ( yes: 筑波 大学 蹴 球 部 ).
Japanese name: As is common in Japan, the family name comes before the first name in this article . Thus Matsunaga is the family name, Akira the first name.
