Chronology
The timeline in this article is not clear. It separates his non acting career from his acting career. This creates an unnecessary separation of the man's life, it reads as if his acting career began after his early period in the US. Whereas they were occurring at the same time. His "two" lives near to be merged into one chronology.

Way Off Topic
The majority of this article reads like a college thesis on anti-Asian sentiment, only it seems to rely on un-cited contentions and outright speculation. This is an article regarding an actor, not a speculative tome about racism. I understand that his race did effect his career, but the overly long, un-cited passages regarding this read like a community college assignment and not a biographical entry.

It reads more like a /r/hapas fantasy. --71.7.179.126 (talk) 23:50, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

“Community college assignment”? Wow, them’s fighting words. BlackAdvisor (talk) 13:41, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Confusing Personal section
I don't understand this:

On May 1, 1914, Hayakawa married fellow Issei performer Tsuru Aoki, who co-starred in several of his films. Hayakawa had married a white actress, Ruth Noble, a fellow vaudeville performer[56] in The Bandit Prince.[57] Noble gave birth to a son, Alexander Hayes. They divorced in 1929, and Hayakawa got custody of the child.

How did he marry Ruth Noble in 1929 if he was already married to Aoki? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smwechsler (talk • contribs) 23:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
