	Kashima Antlers: Mitsuo Ogasawara (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Ogasawara made an important contribution to the U-20 team that went to the semifinals of the World Youth Championships in Nigeria, in 1999.
		Ogasawara has always been a remarkably cool midfielder, with both offensive and defensive skills.
		Unfortunately, his skill set places Ogasawara in direct competition with Nakata and Nakamura for a starting spot, but since the overseas stars are often unavailable for friendlies, Oga has received numerous opportunities to demonstrate his skills since Zico took over as national team coach.

	JPRI Occasional Paper No. 15
		The Ogasawara mashiko, gabicho, and karasubato (brambling, laughing thrush and wood-pigeon), although they are featured on stamps celebrating the islands' natural diversity, disappeared along with the forests that were their home.
		The Ogasawaras are also rich in butterflies, moths, and dragonflies, and, as was only recently realized, some rare and precious kinds of snails, no less than ten of which (including one known as the Anijima katamaimai that was first discovered in 1989) are known to exist only in Anijima.
		The question posed by Ogasawara is how to find a formula for 'development' that will cause the islands to prosper and the residents to be employed in profitable and satisfying tasks without bringing about the destruction of the natural assets that made the islands unique in the first place.

		Ogasawara Islands is the general term for 30 islands of various sizes scattered over the Pacific Ocean.

		The seawater around Hyotan-jima Island, Minami-jima Island and Hira-shima Island all belonging to the Ogasawara Archipelago, has high clarity and the sea is full of coral reefs and tropical fishes, which forms a part of Ogasawara Sea Park.

		There are two extant restricted-range species in the Ogasawara and Iwo Islands, the Japanese wood-pigeon (Columba janthina) and the Vulnerable Bonin honeyeater (Apalopteron familiare)(not actually a honeyeater but a white-eye).
		The wood-pigeon was extirpated from the Iwos in the 1980s, while three other species became permanently extinct in the 1800s.
		Due to geographic proximity and avifaunal affinity, the Ogasawaras and Iwo Islands groups were lumped into the one Ogasawara ecoregion.
