Tatsuo Yamada
There's a lil problem regarding this name on this site. There are two Yamada Tatsuo entries: one actor (nm0945275) and one director (nm3641856). It must be said that the Japanese IMDb clearly lists only actor credits for the first person (http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/person/p0148190.htm), while only director/screenplay credits for the second (http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/person/p0148170.htm). It's just an error due to homonymy. There were four films which were listing both directors, and that's incorrect. I tried to correct all four, but only two were approved and now two remain to be amended. Funny thing is the most ridiculous one (tt0202008) wasn't approved: if the actor was born in 1956, how could he direct a film in '57?!?! The other one is tt0142689. In short the Yamada who remain director is Tatsuo Yamada(IV) (therefore nm3641856), while the actor (nm0945275) has to be removed. I hope I explained the situation clearly enough...
