This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a list entry: This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.
- For redirects from a topic to a related list and not to an entry on that list, use {{R from list topic}} instead.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

From a person(s): This is a redirect from a person or persons' name to a related article or section that describes the person(s).
- It is a topic more specific than currently provided on the target article or a section of that article, hence this redirect is a potential article that may be suitable for expansion in accordance with Misplaced Pages's notability policy on biographies of notable people. The magic word {{DEFAULTSORT:Okubo, Koto}} should be included below the #REDIRECT code in this page for correct category sorting of this person's name.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
