Removed the thing about Morita being Mishima's lover. Reason: a) I'd like to see a cite for this being true. I'll agree to stipulate that Mishima had the hots for Morita, but I'm not sure Morita swung that way, or whether Mishima would have followed through on his feelings. b) not sure this is relevant to a Tatenokai entry. Seems more relevant to Mishima's personal entry. Nat Krause 07:53, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

• The biographies of Nathan and Scott-Stokes do seem to suggest the two were lovers and that their suicide was to emulate the seppuku of samurai homosexual lovers. In any event, it is a common rumour that Mishima founded the Tatenokai to find a young lover who shared his views, and this deserves mention in the article. Crculver 01:29, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
