Takashi Matsuoka is a American-born Japanese writer. He was born in Japan and raised in the United States.

These sentences seem to contradict each other. The second seems to indicate that he is a Japanese-born American (more specifically Japanese-American) writer. Can you provide a little more biographical information? I'm afraid he might be miscategorized as a "Japanese writer." Thanks! CES 17:32, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I made the category change to "American novelist" ... if anyone feels this is incorrect, please say so. CES 11:41, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
