Mako and six others formed the East West Players theater company
East West Players says it was founded by nine artists, not Mako plus six others.
Full reasoning
East West Players' own history page says the company began in 1965 when nine artists created it, and it names the founding members as Mako, Rae Creevey, Beulah Quo, Soon-tek Oh, James Hong, Pat Li, June Kim, Guy Lee, and Yet Lock. That means Mako co-founded the company with eight other people, not six. The article's count is therefore incorrect.

- History & Archive - East West Players
East West Players began in 1965 when nine artists resolved to create an artistic space... with Mako, Rae Creevey, Beulah Quo, Soon-tek Oh, James Hong, Pat Li, June Kim, Guy Lee, and Yet Lock comprising the company's founding members.
During the company's 1981 season, to coincide with the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians' hearings on redress, Mako exclusively produced plays about the Japanese-American incarceration.
East West Players' archive shows the 1980–81 season included several non-internment productions; the internment-themed series began in the 1981–82 season.
Full reasoning
East West Players' production archive contradicts this description of the 1981 season. Its 1980–81 listings include FOB, Hokusai Sketchbooks, Godspell, East West Stories, and The Life of the Land—works that were not exclusively about Japanese-American incarceration. The archive then says Station J, which opened on October 1, 1981, "marked the first of four plays in the season that comprised 'The Internment Camp Series,'" placing that themed series in the 1981–82 season rather than making the entire 1981 season exclusively about incarceration. So the article overstates both the exclusivity and the timing.

The Praying Mantis
The episode title is generally listed as “The Preying Mantis,” not “The Praying Mantis.”
Full reasoning
Major episode databases list Mako's 1966 The Green Hornet appearance as "The Preying Mantis" (season 1, episode 10), not "The Praying Mantis." TVmaze gives the episode title as The Preying Mantis, and Rotten Tomatoes does the same for season 1, episode 10. So the article's episode title is incorrect.
