You've done a great job maintaining them, and your efforts are appreciated. 日本穣

2 March 2013 Ryulong This is to recognize your extensive contributions to MOS-JA and to articles on Japan-related pop culture. Over 170,000 edits to over 36,000 pages since 2006—mainly in Japan project space—is quite an achievement. You are #52 on the list of most prolific editors as of 7 Jan. 2013. LittleBenW

15 June 2012 MatthewVanitas For spearheading the effort to create the Ainu Task Force for WikiProject Japan. Good work! Boneyard90
1 March 2012 Haaninjo Thank you for all your work on municipality infoboxes in Japan. You have greatly improved all of them, and all your hard work is very appreciated. Nihonjoe
28 January 2012 Rich Farmbrough You've been doing all kinds of work recently to clean up the persondata and defaultsort on Japan-related articles (which is a very large, long, and thankless job...at least until I gave you this award). You also created the {{Vertical text RTL}} and {{RTL scroll}} templates, which will prove very useful, I believe. Your efforts to improve Japan-related content, even though mostly behind the scenes, is greatly appreciated. Nihonjoe
15 December 2011 Jllm06 I've been watching you plow through many different categories of articles which are part of WikiProject Japan as you are organizing them, and I just wanted to recognize you for all that hard work. Category sorting is a very underappreciated job, and you're doing a lot of good work there. Thanks! Nihonjoe
1 August 2010 AnmaFinotera While your Japan-related work has been almost exclusively anime- and manga-related, that's a very important part of the modern culture of Japan, and I hereby award you this Barnsensu in recognition of all your hard work. You've done a lot to improve thousands of articles, and your work is very much appreciated. Wikipedia has become a much greater resource for this information due to all the work you put in here. While we've certainly had our fair share of disagreements (some of them somewhat heated), I think I've become a better contributor because of those discussions. Thank you for all you've done here. Nihonjoe
4 September 2009 Dekkappai For stepping up when no one else would or could and muscling through six decades and two languages worth of information, which pales in comparison to the amount of content you've created—not to mention filmographies and those things aren't easy—I, with such power vested in me, do solemnly swear, to hereby award you, this circled fan award. Doctor Sunshine
18 May 2009 Bamse Your work with the various National Treasures of Japan lists and articles is amazing. These contributions have greatly enhanced the depth of coverage of important topics related to Japan. Your work is greatly appreciated. Nihonjoe
9 March 2009 Urashimataro In recognition of your extensive contributions to articles on Kamakura, I award you this Barnsensu. Your articles on historical sites in the city, and related topics, represent not only great quantity, covering interesting and important topics I never thought I'd see, such as historical streets, but great quality as well. Your efforts on topics relating to this, one of my favorite cities in Japan, represents a significant step towards achieving a degree of thoroughness of coverage on Wikipedia I hadn't thought possible.

29 August 2007 Amake For gruelling template, macron and page ordering work on Japanese municipalities Saganaki-
23 August 2007 Bueller 007 For your excellent work on some of the more obscure Japan-related topics, including nengō. It's great to have people with true passion and expertise not only for the common stuff, but for the more obscure stuff too, to more fully flesh out the 'pedia's coverage of Japanese topics. LordAmeth
7 August 2007 Hoary I hereby award this Barnsensu to you, Hoary, in recognition of your tireless work in improving Japan-related articles in general.

13 February 2007 HongQiGong I award you this Barnsensu in recognition of your tireless efforts to bring balance to Japan and other Japan-related articles-- a very meaningful, but thankless and never-ending task. Although we may not always agree, I admire your tremendous persistence and appreciate your presence at Wikipedia. No matter what some may say, you are a positive force here. Don't forget that. And don't give up. Don't compromise. Just because you are outnumbered, doesn't mean you are defeated. Truth is on your side. "Edger"
27 January 2007 Shimeru Please accept this award for the dedication you have shown in working the Kitsune article up to featured article status. If there was a class above featured, Kitsune would be in it, and if there was an award greater than this one, I would present it to you. Dekimasu
