Illustrator credited as author?

edited 23 days ago
tl;dr
CMS18 author-date is giving the full name of the illustrator (Extra field) as the author in inline citations for a children's book with an editor but no author. Is this correct?

[Situation]
The full citation is:
Nakamura Shin, ill. 2006. Kujira kara sekai ga mieru. Edited by Ūmanzu fōramu sakana. Yūgensha. WFF.

The Extra field is:
Illustrator: Nakamura || Shin

The inline citation is:
(Nakamura 2006)

[Question]
I assumed the inline citation would be:
(Ūmanzu fōramu sakana 2006)
Is (Illustrator ####) correct here and better than (Editor ####)?
