Very likely Lir. I checked out his first edit:
http://www.wikipedia.org/w/ wiki.phtml?title=Preliminary_hearing&action=history
he continues directly where Vera Cruz left off. Other telltale signs for a Lir incarnation: - makes dozens of subsequent minor edits to the same article - inserts way too many headlines into articles
Past Lir users also had a strong preference for military subjects.
If it's him, this time he has made a very obvious mistake, namely, he claims to be from Japan. We have several Japanese users on the English Wikipedia -- just ask one of them to test Lir's Japanese skills.
