Keep. Just a quick glance at the jawiki article shows he's covered in some reliable sources (Sponichi, for one). And the claim that "he is not properly covered in Japanese news websites in his Japanese name" is demonstrably false. A five minute quick search turned up Nikkan Sports (and a second one) as well as Nikkei. He is definitely notable per WP:N. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This is what I did and google news search didn't give enough news sources. Marvellous Spider-Man 10:14, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
How many is "enough" in your mind? In order to meet notability requirements, a topic needs only two (at a minimum) reliable sources to indicate that notability. I think with all the ones I've specifically mentioned, as well as those already in the article, notability has been more than established here. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:18, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The two sources that comes in news, If one looks carefully, those matches the content, but it doesn't match the heading of the sources. The news article title was not in his name. I think you are comparing this to some other articles. I know many articles with lesser notability might have missed deletion. If I would have seen them, then nominated them also. --Marvellous Spider-Man 01:11, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I was on the edge with this one cause there is some sourcing, but I agree that it is not enough. -- Dane ^talk 20:28, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Dane: So how many reliable sources is enough? I've listed four, plus those already in the jawiki article. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:26, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
