- Reason
- Ignoring the normal requirement that an image be in an article for a while since there were no images in the article before this. Lucked out on being able to find this. Restoration is... Heh. Really not much. Maybe a dozen spots, hence I'm not listing myself in the creator field on here
That said, I think it's a strong image. Decent resolution; very slightly soft focus, but that seems intentional, and, since he's most famous for being a Japanese-American who served in WWII despite the prejudice against Japanese-Americans at the time. - Articles in which this image appears

- Support I guess that's an exception to be added to the guidelines. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:25, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- It's one of those things that used to be talked about, but we don't have many of the people I joined FPC with here anymore, so I guess it's one of those lost institutional history things. Also, frankly, that part of Criterion 5 used to be much more loosely applied, hence the "It is preferable" and "may be ignored in obvious cases" wording.

- Support – I bet the photographer told him to tilt his hat and rotate it toward the camera! Historic image, so taking exception to the 1500px requirement. Bammesk (talk) 01:12, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- No, that is how caps were worn - with a tilt. Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:42, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
