... that Toman helped popularize genderless fashion in Japan? Source: The New York Times (article)"Mr. Sasaki, a model and pop band member who goes simply by Toman, does not regard his look as feminine so much as genderless... The term “genderless danshi” was coined by a talent agent, Takashi Marumoto, who has helped develop Toman’s career."
- ALT1:... that Japanese actor Toman was high school classmates with Mario Kuroba? Source: Kyodo News (article) "とまんです。彼とは（地元が一緒の）同級生で、高校生のときから遊んでいた“イツメン”なんです。 [(answering question) It's Toman. He was my classmate (from my hometown) and since high school, he's always down to hang out.]"

The article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, and neutrally written with no significant copyvio. Both hooks are cited-inline in the article. Hook sources are either paywalled or foreign language, and accepted in good faith. Personally, I find the first hook interesting. A QPQ has been done by the nominator. Good to go!

"Born as"

If the Japanese form of his name is "Sasaki Toman", then why do we say that he was born as "Toman Sasaki"? I would presume that a Japanese individual, born in Japan would have their name originally in the Japanese order. --Khajidha (talk) 12:49, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Khajidha: MOS:JAPAN states that Japanese names, unless of historical figures, must be in Western order. lullabying (talk) 06:10, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That refers to article titles and running text. The infobox field seems more like the parenthetical note that is also in traditional Japanese order. --Khajidha (talk) 09:35, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
