/*Ishikari */ Swap incorrect <ref>(Yoshida) with Sarashina1971, but since this uses variant ''Rādoshikamui'', adding <ref>(Takigawa shi history 1981) to try to substantiate that Rātoshikamui with a "t" might be the standardized spelling.
expl. note (based on footnote by Sasaki, Toshikazu (1988)'s Ainu geographical name resources compiolation that even though modern 1 ri is 2.44 miles (3.9 km), the ancient ri is only 1/6th that.
/*Ishikari*/ remark that Ainu romainzation cant be given since unverified. Change target wikilink to [[Akkorokamui#Rātoshikamui]] anticipating creating section by translation.
