Stormbreaker
anyone got an image of the cover that he did for it? All I can find is the US version. I guess my Google-fu is weak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.229.117 (talk) 02:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Translation
The Japanese version of this is one of the few with proper sourcing. We could do a straight translation and keep their refs. Doceirias (talk) 04:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Is his birth name really Toshiyuki Araki?
The only source I could find for this claim was the original edit made in 2004 on the Japanese wiki page. I could not find an corroborating source after Googling the kanji and looking through the interviews with Araki on the JoJo wikia. I was not even able to find a source for the claim that this was his debut name for his manga "Poker Under Arms". Anyone else have any luck? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goszei (talk • contribs) 00:54, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- I did not find a "great" source for it, but I believe this site as a whole qualifies as reliable. I would not be surprised if they just got info for that specific article from Wikipedia, but the Japanese wiki page is rated a Good article. One would think if it was wrong it would have been removed sometime in the last 15 years. If you're gonna demand a reliable source for listing it as his birth name, why did you leave it in as his pen name when as you said there is no source for that either? We could just remove mention of it all together. Xfansd (talk) 01:33, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Alright, I found this entry for Poker Under Arms in the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs' Media Art Database, listing "Toshiyuki Araki"; I also found this corroborating tweet, showing the name "Toshiyuki Araki" in the original Jump edition. One of these should serve as a source for that particular claim. However, I have not yet found a source for that name being his birth name.
- It doesn't really make sense that he would use his birth name for his first manga, then switch to a pen name. This is especially so considering what is stated in the article's body, which is that he drew the manga behind his parents' backs, and that all of his previous submissions were rejected. Considering those two facts, it makes far more sense to me that "Toshiyuki" is a debut pen-name, and that after the positive attention he received at the Tezuka Awards, he felt comfortable enough to use his real name. That said, I will be on the look out for any information to the contrary.
- NOTE to Xfansd: If my argument end up sitting with you, could you fix the Manga artist and Pseudonymous author tags that you edited before? I don't want to try myself and mess things up.
