In fact Kyudoka doesn't exactly mean Kyudo practitioner - it means Kyudo *expert*...this seems to be a mistranslation. So higher level Kyudo practitioners may be referred to as Kyudoka, but not lower level practitioners. The actual term for Kyudo practitioner is "Kyudojin". http://riron-kyudo.upper.jp/ Deathlibrarian ( talk)
I cannot (outside of Wikipedia, except obvious copies) find any reference to the first arrow being male and the second arrow being female. To my knowledge, "haya" literally means "first arrow" and "otoya" means "second arrow". 甲 doesn't have any secondary meaning referring to gender and 乙 neither. 甲矢 and 乙矢 have very clear meanings. Without a reputable source, I wouldn't keep that piece of information. Florian Gilcher ( talk) 13:42, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
This article appears to be written in either Canadian or Oxford spelling, but I can't quite tell which. Can anyone figure it out? Curly "the jerk" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 08:52, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi everyone, longtime reader and new editor here. I've been reading Nagashino 1575: Slaughter at the barricades by Professor Stephen Turnbull, published by Osprey, and there's no mention of Oda Nobunaga arming farmers with arquebuses. On the contrary, it goes into detail about the exhaustive drill and discipline required for Lord Oda's troops to employ sophisticated volley fire techniques. I'm sure there were a few errant farmers among the gunmen, or lowly samurai, but it really sounds like the ashigaru were mostly thoroughly drilled warrior-caste dregs who may or may not have ever done any farming.

Just a note about nomenclature. Kyudoka doesn't mean "person who does Kyudo" or "Kyudo practitioner". It means "Kyudo expert". I know us English speakers like to have convenient terms, but there isn't really one for someone who does kyudo, as the Japanese normally just say "I do Kyudo". For the average person to call themself Kyudoka is innapropriate, because it really should only be used by high level Kyudo people. I've modified the article to reflect this.

HI all, I'm not sure what the Dai Nippon Kyudo Kai is, but its just been inserted all through the article, with no references. There are references to a wikipedia page about the DNKK, but in turn, there is no RS on that page itself.
Please discuss here before these changes are made. It would be good to see some RS inserted to support this. Also a possible COI issue, with the editor connected to this organisation, though I am assuming good faith, it does seem most of their insertions are to do with DNKK. Unfortunately, I can't revert to the last stable version as there has been intermediate edits, so I'm removing the references until some RS has been inserted to support it, and the DNKK parent article has some RS to substantiate it. All a bit mysterious. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 10:25, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi all, a lot of this page is unreferenced, and possibly incorrect. I'm endeavouring to go through and find references for what I can, and perhaps delete any thing a bit dubious. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 11:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
