I couldn't establish that this meets

Delete I did a Google search in Japanese for news and came up with nothing that would show notability. If there are decent reviews of his books in Japanese he might be notable as an author, but I could only see book selling sites and UGC. Mccapra (talk) 02:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Did a search on .jp websites, there are a few scientists with a similar name, but nothing for a sports personality. Delete for lack of sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 00:16, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails to justify itself biographical vailidity, usefulness to Wikipedia as an encyclopedic-nature overview, or via notability or language-specified citation checks - not even the linked Shimada Corporation notation on the page provides even remotely enough information to justify this page's existence. Furthermore, none of the subject's publications, affiliations or contributions to his field suggest that this page provides meaningful or useful information from which readers can benefit. As such, all the evidence points to the deletion of this page; I can't see how it could be improved in the foreseeable future, nor does it seem worth scraping together reviews of the subject's generally insignificant output of work.
