The entity known as on various online venues as Miwasatoshi (talk • contribs • count) (三輪 悟史 Miwa Satoshi), (born July 18, 1979, Manila, Philippines) is a Filipino-born American college student, birder, and anime reviewer who has served intermittently as a Wikipedian since 2 February 2005. Contrary to popular belief, he is not Japanese, rather, taking his pseudonym from the character of the same name from Marmalade Boy, portrayed by Shinichiro Ohta.

[edit] Who is this guy?
Hey, folks! I am a senior at ASU, set to graduate in December 2008. As implied above, I am a naturalized citizen of the United States, a status I don't see changing any time soon. This directly results in my consistent and exclusive use of American English: I don't live in a Commonwealth nation so I won't be using Commonwealth English except perhaps in jest. (Or Monty Python references.)
As stated above, Miwa Satoshi isn't my real name, but seeing as I don't supply that here, feel free to call me "Miwa".
I am an intermittent Wikipedian and can be occasionally found patrolling articles involving Japanese pop culture, including anything listed above, as well as music. I have been known to start a few stubs on obscure languages (probably not obscure to their speakers, I imagine!), to fix typographical and spelling errors on articles of utterly random historical figures, and to try (possibly in vain) to reassert the dominance of Hepburn romanization as the internationally accepted system for depicting Japanese in our alphabet.
You've probably figured out by now that my WikiTalent is the creation and maintenance of lists. I enjoy doing this and I'm apparently good at it. I have absolutely no idea why, because outside of this, I am ridiculously disorganized in every other facet of my life.
Another future project of mine will be wikifying segments of the vertebrate world native to the American Southwest, but that's delayed for the time being, as I am a full-time student (and when I'm not a full-time student, I'm out helping field ornithologists keep track of bird population trends).
I'm rather easy to find on the Internet, as I am a prolific anime reviewer, heavily involved in Arizona birding communities, and post frequently on LiveJournal. If you can't figure out my LJ name, I'm afraid you'll just have to turn in your Internet driving license right now.
Despite the Babel box to the right, I am not in fact an otaku, as otaku (in the classical sense) tend not to have outdoor hobbies or wedding rings (or divorce papers for that matter). I have, however, seen over 1,000 different anime series, which is admittedly a larger number than the number of bird species I have seen. Fortunately, that proportion is steadily changing in favor of the birds.
Cheers!
