India?[edit]

Googling around for information on this character I couldn't find any confirmation that he reached (what we now call) India. One source called his claims 'fabulous' while another suggested that he went to (what are now) Vietnam and Thailand. I can't find any source calling him the Marco Polo of Japan. I can't find any source for his association with Jan Joosten. The rest of the article seems likely to be accurate. It would be valuable to know the sources of the original author. Hat tip to Elonka for bringing this interesting article to my attention. Haukur (talk) 21:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, actually here's a mention of Joosten and Tokubei. But this source speaks of Siam and not India. Haukur (talk) 21:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Indie"[edit]

At Red seal ships#India, it refers to him as "Tenjiku "Indie" Tokubei". Is that correct? Both in accuracy and in formatting? If so we could add it here, and if not it should be fixed. Ta :) -- Quiddity (talk) 06:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tenjiku ("天竺") means "India" and therefore is used as a nickname, hence the "Indie", often used on Internet. Best regards Per Honor et Gloria ✍ 12:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I guess I was specifically looking for clarification on "Indie" vs "India" - perhaps this is just a pronunciation/colloquialism issue? And if it's verifiable, shouldn't we mention "Indie" in this article? If it's an informal-internet-only name, should we mention it at all? Thanks again.

(Context: My non-editor friend pointed that sentence out as humourous-but-probably-vandalism - he was thinking "Indiana "Indie" Jones" - so I dug around a little, and saw it had been there since you first wrote it in 2005. Hence, I thought I'd inquire for details. I have no background in this area; am really just a curious reader. :) -- Quiddity (talk) 21:02, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
