... 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"[edit]

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]
