[edit] A few necessary edits
1) First ascent According to Himalayan Database, the 1979 Japanese expedition reached the NE summit (6350m), but not the main summit. The first ascent to the main summit was on 7 October 1981 by an expedition from NZ. Two weeks later (21/10/1981) a Japanese expedition made the second ascent.
2) Altitude Different maps give different altitudes: 6367m - HMG-MT, Nepa, NGS Trekking 6369m - Schneider, Japan MMW, Kielkowski 6370m - HMG-Finn, Shangri La The Himalayan Database use the 6370m figure.
3) Spelling About 10 different spellings can be found on the web, but I would suggest the one used by the Himalayan Database (Kusum Kanguru) or NMA (Kusum Kangru) Pseudois (talk) 12:26, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
