Well no, they're not a physical entity at all. Yasu is a physical entity. Shannon, Kanon, and Beatrice are all characters, whether or not disguise is a factor. Hell, even if DID is a factor, it's still pretty much so.
But you're right, the idea is the same.

Only on game boards, as red text doesn't apply to Rokkenjima-Prime. Assuming Kinzo was dead, Erika didn't survive or wasn't real, and only Yasu exists, there would have been 16 people on Rokkenjima in 1986, yes.
On game boards or in stories there are as many people as the author says there are.

But it seems (I can be mistaken), that most people that count personalities are referring to "Shannon" and Kanon" as 2 people. However, what about Beatrice ? Isn't she a proper personality too ? It would make 18 then. (Also, I'm just asking)

If Shannon and Kanon are "persons," and Beatrice is the same, then you're correct, Beatrice
should be counted. But she isn't. How 'bout that.
