Nationality is Japanese

I understand he was born there, but it appears he took American citizenship and spent his formative years in the U.S. Japan doesn't allow dual citizenships. in this case, wouldn't he be an American? 65.24.34.251 (talk) 21:29, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Description as Japanese-American

The word Japanese has been removed from the sentence "Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa ... is a Japanese American actor" twice by IP 173.161.2.238. On the first change, his/her rationale was that "we dont have brad pitt listed as a European-american actor"; however, Brad Pitt was born in the U.S., not Europe. As Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was born in Japan, it seems perfectly appropriate to describe him as a Japanese American actor, a rationale I explained when reverting the change the first time. Nonetheless, this user decided to remove Japanese again. While this is, of course, a minor issue, I figured it would be better to bring it here than to start an edit war. —Zach425 ^talk/contribs 01:44, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I believe the two criteria necessary to include the Japanese American designation would be 1) there are sources identifying him as such and 2) there are sources wherein Tagawa himself identifies as such. The first goes towards establishing verifiability, and the second adds weight to the designation. To satisfy number 1 I've included a citation from Variety which calls him Japanese American. To satisfy number 2 I found a Washington Post article wherein Tagawa recounts issues he experienced as an Asian American in Hollywood and have included that as well. As both criteria are met I've restored the word "Japanese" into the lead and I think both citations will go a long way towards bolstering the argument to keep it as such. Hope this helps!

Those sound like excellent criteria. Thanks for doing this research! —Zach425 ^talk/contribs 16:32, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Cary on Russian TV

Saw Cary today on Russian matchmaking TV show. Apparently he is looking for a Russian wife with some vocal talent.
