Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • To a list entry: This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.
    • For redirects from a topic to a related list and not to an entry on that list, use {{R from list topic}} instead.
  • From a person(s): This is a redirect from a person or persons' name to a related article or section that describes the person(s).
    • It is a topic more specific than currently provided on the target article or a section of that article, hence this redirect is a potential article that may be suitable for expansion in accordance with Misplaced Pages's notability policy on biographies of notable people. The magic word {{DEFAULTSORT:Okubo, Koto}} should be included below the #REDIRECT code in this page for correct category sorting of this person's name.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
