`Complete rewrite of the list completed on 02/08/06. Updated to be in-line with the equivalent page on ja:wiki. Quite a few of the listings in the English version weren't included in the Japanese version, so I've checked for validity (most weren't needed) and left the others commented (not deleted). Many of them may be names of older geinin/acts so I'm going to try to find out as many as I can and write them back in, especially for manzai acts which have been removed over time from the Japanese list.  If you are reinserting a name that is presently commented (that I couldn't find a source for) please include the kanji for the name as to make it searchable in Japanese. Also try to conform to the style of the page in order to make it easiest to find. English words used in Japanese are spelled in English, but Japanese words are never translated into English (at least on this page). E.g. ダチョウ倶楽部 is Dachō Club, not Ostrich Club or Ostrich Kurabu.  The names are arranged in alphabetical order by surname, and they are all listed in English   style. Names written in katakana with English meanings are translated, thus Robaato becomes Robert etc., and this is how I will be creating the article names as well. Names that don't appear to be in English name order probably are like that because a) it's not a person's name (it's the combi name) b) the gainin specifically uses that order in English, e.g. 所ジョージ (Tokoro George, not George Tokoro).  Also, nicknames are not used, rather the full version of their most common name, e.g. Razor Ramon HG, not HG or Sumitani etc.      In alphabetizing, macrons are ignored, so ``ō`` is treated as an ``o``, etc.`
