It appears he holds sole Japanese citizenship, though he is based in Taiwan. I have updated the lead sentence accordingly. Though nationality wording tends to be on a case-by-case basis, there are notable examples like ] and ] where it was agreed upon that they should be called "British" because that is the sole citizenship they hold.
Um, information from the movie 'Sepet' seems to have mistakenly been merged with this page!

== racial issue ==

Kaneshiro is a mixed Japanese-Taiwanese person. Some people might agree that he can be included as a Chinese person due to his ethnic background (most Japanese and Taiwanese orginiated from China); however, this is a violation of NPOV since it is such a delicate, controversial issue on wikipedia, it is safe to leave him out of the Chinese category.--] 06:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

: There is no such ethnicity as "Taiwanese". As far as I know, Takeshi Kaneshiro's heritage (non-Japanese part thereof) is ] and not ]. Unless you can show some evidence that he is Taiwanese Aboriginal, or that "Taiwanese" is an ethnicity rather than a residency status? --] (]) 07:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

*First off, I need to say I resent your post on my talkpage falsely accusing me as a POV editor. I'm trying to bring NPOV to POV articles. I don't think that the English language Misplaced Pages should know or care about these distintions, especially if they cannot be expressed in English. All the Ethnic Group list articles are meant to simply list people who (themselves or their ancestors) immigrated from a particular country. This so-called Chinese is, or should be, those people who came from China (mainland); the existing 'list of Taiwanese Americans' article are those people who came from Taiwan. No politics here. No culture here. No self-reference questions of the people involved--who knows what is in their minds. Using the rough term Han Chinese as an excuse to classify Taiwanese as Chinese is unjust to the Taiwanese population. Just geographic facts.
Anything else should be removed as not NPOV. Thanks --] 07:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

: You seem to have a mistaken understanding of the word "ethnicity". Please consult a dictionary. --] (]) 07:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Are you trying to make personal attack? I wouldn't be editing here if I'm illiterate. Base on human history, all Asians and natives Americans are from the same ethnicity. Ethnics is very vague. Plus we're not even talking about ethnicity here, we're talking about nationality.--] 07:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

: I do not believe that you are illiterate. I just think that you have a mistaken understanding of certain words, such as "Chinese", "ethnicity", "race", "nationality", "geography", "Taiwanese". Seriously, have you even looked at the ] page? Just start with the ] page. And the ] page while you are at it. --] (]) 07:43, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Well apparently the categories may refer to nationality instead of ethnic backgrounds. Plus if you really are that concern about ethnicity than I guess a lot of American celebrities are missing the British ethnicity.--] 07:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

: They can refer to nationality ''as well as'' ethnic backgrounds. Look, British vs American is a totally different issue to Chinese vs Taiwanese. If you look at the ] page you will see that a significant portion of people in Taiwan regard "Taiwanese" as a subset of "Chinese". It's not up to you or I to say which way people should identify themselves.
: Given that Takeshi Kaneshiro is ], and, indeed, ], his ethnicity is well described by being "Chinese", unless you can show a source that says he thinks he's not? --] (]) 09:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Nationality

It appears he holds sole Japanese citizenship, though he is based in Taiwan. I have updated the lead sentence accordingly. Though nationality wording tends to be on a case-by-case basis, there are notable examples like Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif where it was agreed upon that they should be called "British" because that is the sole citizenship they hold.

Furthermore, AFAIK, Japan has strict laws against holding dual citizenship, and he's said that he's Japanese. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 12:10, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

citizenship

He also holds a Taiwanese citizenship. He is half Japanese and half Taiwanese 39.1.26.26 (talk) 05:26, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

He resides in Taiwan but doesn't hold Taiwanese citizenship. That's why he did not qualify for the "Taiwan Outstanding Filmmaker of the Year" at the Golden Horse Awards in 2008. NoCringe (talk) 07:51, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
