Artist alias request thread

Posted under General

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this, but I noticed on Hidari's illustrator information page
http://danbooru.donmai.us/artists/43472

It states that he is also known as Iruma Hitoma. What is the source on this? Their birthplaces are different on their wikipedia pages (Gifu versus Kanagawa). Hidari has done illustrations for Iruma Hitoma, but I can't find a Japanese source saying they're the same person.

Hidari's JP wiki page: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B7%A6_(%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC)
Iruma Hitoma's: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%85%A5%E9%96%93%E4%BA%BA%E9%96%93

If that artist and that writer did happen to be the same person, then this fact is not documented on either of their Wikipedia entries, nor can I find any other sort of source for it on the internet. It seems more likely that the person who made that change misread the Japanese wikipedia article or something like that.

I reverted it.

mahaya -> nanao

Same artist, as can be told by wiki links, related names, and image style. While in his blog, he seems to use the name mahaya, for all official works he uses the name nanao.

The Wiki links and related names were added by someone else without proof, and I don't see anything so far (maybe not looking closely enough) that definitively confirms they're the same other than the similar style. If they are the same, Mahaya looks more like the "official" name, being credited for Dengeki Bunko work like the Intelli Village no Zashiki-warashi light novel series and Index comic anthology, while Nanao's credits are for eromanga and unofficial doujinshi.
