Ryō Ikebe (池部 良, Ikebe Ryō; 11 February 1918 – 8 October 2010) was a Japanese actor. He graduated from Rikkyō University and originally wanted to be a director, but ended up debuting as an actor at Tōhō in 1941. He did not achieve popularity until starring in a series of youth films in the late 1940s. He expanded his acting range in the 1950s, while still frequently appearing in genre films, such as Tōhō tokusatsu films and yakuza films at Tōei. One key role of his was in the 1964 film noir Pale Flower. Apparently, he was cast by Masahiro Shinoda despite saying that he was a "ham actor". Shinoda stated that he cast him because of his sleek features present in films such as Early Spring (1956) and wanted to feel the "quality of a man down on his luck." (at the time of production, Ikebe happened to be at home because of a bad experience he had acting in a play where he couldn't remember his lines). He was also known as an essayist. On 8 October 2010, he died of blood poisoning. He was 92 years old.

John Yasutaro Naide (名出 保太郎) D.D. (December 22, 1866 – 1945) was an Anglican bishop of the Diocese of Osaka, in the Nippon Sei Ko Kai, the Province of the Anglican Communion in Japan. He was born in Wakayama Prefecture. Naide served as a delegate to the first synod of the Anglican Church in Japan in 1887. He was consecrated on December 11, 1923 as one of the first two Japanese bishops in the Nippon Sei Ko Kai and the first Japanese Bishop of Osaka. Naide had previously served as Rector at Kawaguchi Christ Church and of Christ Church, Osaka. As Bishop of Osaka Naide succeeded the joint appointment of an American Episcopalian Henry St. George Tucker and English Anglican Hugh Foss. Bishop Thomas Frank Gailor preached at his consecration. In 1924 Naide was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree by the Virginia Theological Seminary. At the House of Bishops meeting in December 1937, Naide was elected chairman of the General Synod and president of the Executive Council of the Nippon Sei Ko Kai. In October 1942, in the face of Second World War Japanese government pressure for the church to join the Protestant United Church of Christ in Japan or Kyodan, Naide took the controversial decision to dissolve the Nippon Sei Ko Kai in his own diocese, publicly announcing in January 1943 that it had ceased to exist. Wartime nationalism and government pressure impacted the mission of many Christian churches in Japan during the 1930s and 1940s. Naide maintained his view that the Nippon Sei Ko Kai should be a national Christian church led by a cadre of Japanese bishops, an aim realised in 1947, two years after the end of the war and Naide's death in 1945.
