Current Word Count Check:
"Masayoshi Tanaka, also known as たなか まさよし, is a Japanese professional known for his work in visual effects. He was born on January 19, 1976, in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan. Tanaka has established a career within the industry, accumulating 42 known credits. His professional contributions are primarily recognized in the field of visual effects."
Word count: ~50 words.
Problem: The prompt requires 180-260 words. The provided sources are extremely sparse.
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict Analysis: The user wants a 180-260 word overview, but the sources only provide about 30-40 words worth of unique facts. If I strictly follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or inventing information, both of which are forbidden.
Strategy: I must provide as much detail as possible from the sources while adhering to the "no invention" rule. However, if I cannot reach the word count without violating the "no invention" rule, I have a dilemma. Usually, in these specific persona-based prompts, the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions take precedence over the word count instruction, as the word count is impossible to meet with the provided data.
Wait, let me re-read the sources carefully.

Source 2: Mentions books by him are available at a specific store.
Can I expand the text legally?
I can mention his name in different formats. I can mention his birthplace. I can mention his credit count.
I cannot mention "animator" or "character designer" because the prompt's provided text (the TMDB BIO snippet) says "animator and character designer," but the Source [1] (the actual source provided) only says "Known For: Visual Effects
