雅-miyavi- Profile

Last updated: June 24, 2009

The information on this page are the combination from miyavi's profile on his myspace and his new official site. The second section contains previous details that were not included in his current profile when this information was available on O-re-sa-ma (miyavi's previous official site), translated by Jessica Rains. We thought it would be good to show the differences so fans can see how miyavi has progressed in his life.

Notes

[1] Bantamweight and featherweight are both boxer terms for body weight. Bantam is between 51 and 54kg (113-119lbs), and feather is heavier than that at 54-57kg (120-126lbs).

[2] "Oresama" is both an overly-self-confident and narcissistic way of saying "me" in Japanese.

[3] The reason why this statement is in the eyesight section is that the expression in Japanese is literally "I have no eyes for sweet things." It means you can't look at and thus control yourself from or be choosy about eating any kind of sweet food. In other words, he's not picky about sweets because he wants to eat it all.

[4] Both Kitarou and Kobo-chan are characters from two different Anime/Manga series'.
