Is he Korean?

Is he Korean? I wouldn't be surprised. Majority of Japanese entertainers are Korean-Japanese ( Zainichi) using Japanese alias names. Half Korean-Japanese ( Mixed). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Koreanjapanese (talk • contribs) 03:07, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, he is obviously a Zainichi Korean. You can tell by his last name (出山) which uses symmetric shaped Kanji characters to form Deyama. Symmetric characters are favored by Zainichi Korean last names. Also his facial and physical features such as his attached earlobes, flat face with long chin and slanted eyes. These are typical facial features of an ethnic Korean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240F:31:34B4:1:19E5:E6E2:A1D4:4D17 (talk) 14:16, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Unencyclopedic
I think the tone could be more encyclopedic. Currently we have sentences like "He seems to be very happy, his solo album Aoi hoshi no tabibito (produced with Norihiro Tsuru) sounds beautiful and full of harmony and love." A-giau 15:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. That's a bit too POV to be encyclopedic. --82.36.172.64 19:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

So-called?
Okay, I'm going to remove the words "so-called" from this article. That is an obvious negative POV regarding this chosen genre of music. Whether or not I or anyone else agrees that his music is "healing" is irrevelent - if that's what he calls it, that's what he calls it. Putting it in quotes is sufficient to imply that there is question there, but without the negative connotation. Harukaze 14:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

New Image
I am trying to upload a new image of Toshi I took at his concert on February 14, 2008. I think it looks far more flattering than his current picture on the site, which is three years old. Moreover, his style in the new picture better reflects that of who he was as an X Japan member a decade ago, and is his current style for rejoining the group.

Please give me advice as to how to accomplish this, I know nothing about editing content on wikipedia. I can be reached at hdefined@gmail.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hdefined (talk • contribs) 12:51, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Toshi or ToshI
In the official site, the name of the singer is "ToshI" , not "Toshi". Maybe we must chenge the name of the wiki page, I don't know how this can be do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.77.0.246 (talk) 11:11, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * In Japan, he has been officially renamed himself, from "TOSHI" to "Toshl" at 2010, where 5th letter is not i nor I (ai) but l (el). Japanese pronouciation is still "toshi". Source (JPN) --Bk5kis5 (talk) 06:08, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
