    Can somebody tell me what his actual name is? With some proof material? How about translating the name directly? If you do that, the name's Toshiro or Toshio? Or is it that pain-in-the-ass case with numerous ways of translating? I do know there are two artists under the same name, but can't quite tell who is who yet... I'm interested in the composer (Naruto, Mushishi OSTs).
