I couldn't find any sources for Tojo inventing the roll other than his own claims and some news sources repeating his claims. On the other hand, Tojo seems quite well-known and for inventing a variety of rolls, and the roll is IMHO an inevitable invention, so it's quite possible for various sushi chefs to have come up with this independently at the same time. In any case, given the lack of sources (which others are of course free to add), I've rephrased the relevant passage as "Tojo claims...".

I should add that Manashita's claim is perhaps not all too strong either, but at least there are some early sources supporting the Los Angeles origin and a couple pinpointing Manashita and his restaurant.

I've also omitted mention of some of Tojo's other rolls, as that is not really appropriate for an article about the California roll. It might be a good idea to reserve that info for an article on Tojo. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 11:34, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
