https://zushilove.tumblr.com/post/171188124772/ (just in case, pointing this out from Kido's [scanned] page again. You can clearly see the number "17". I can also provide the kanji for "age".) In the translator's words: "Same as Kano and Seto, Kido is [one grade bellow Ayano/Shintaro]. So for the current time setting, she’s at an age to turn 16~17 between April 1 to next year’s March 31. Kido’s birthday is in January 2. [Her official age is “17″] ([this age was written in the script of MCA as well]) but her actual age is supposed to be 16. [It’s even canon that Kido is younger than Kano (May 10th), who is in the same grade as her and also has the official age written as 17]…" While I do not have the MCA script (books?) in question either, the scan itself proves the Japanese translators' words true. I don't see why a Japanese translators' words can't be trusted, since they would know better how to interpret their own texts, being Japanese. But if their word is not enough for even trivia, I can obtain the artbook for scans of the other pages.

While I appreciate the false ages being removed, I think still noting age estimates (if even under trivia) is important for the fandoms' knowledge on the series, if this makes sense. This would also go for characters like Konoha (please see here): https://zushilove.tumblr.com/post/171297549597/ (In the event Konoha's age cannot be determined by assumption alone [for the Wiki], one could conclude he could be at an age from 16-19 [for trivia], for example. Though there is also another timing issue there because Konoha's assumed "birthday" is same as Haruka's (Dec. 24th) but the series takes place during timeloops on August 15th - August 15th comes before Dec. 24th - he actually cannot have had his "birthday" yet. This is also the case for Momo's issue [she hasn't had her next birthday after August 15th yet in order to turn 16. August 15th -> February 14th, what should be Momo's 16th birthday.] I hope this is making sense as well.)
