Changed the term to Asian American. -intranetusa
I don't see anywhere that it says Masi Oka IS a Golden-Globe or Emmy Award winner. He was nominated, but did not win. Someone please fix that. Sstrieu 06:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
"someone please fix that?" Oh My God, fix it yourslf! (thats what i call LAZY) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.209.89 ( talk) 13:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Is this "his" new movie? Or is he merely in it?
got rid of "minor in theater arts"---- you can't minor in anything at Brown.
Appearance on Conan Tuesday, Nov 21 2006. Showed Masi on the cover of a Time Magazine when he was a child. The article was about Whiz Asian-American kids? Anyone know which issue this is? -- Jdeviant 06:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
offical time magazine cover link if someone wants to embed it in the article: http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19870831,00.html
Where does it say in the third citation ( http://www.cs.brown.edu/news/2006/0929.Heroes.html) that he has a 180 IQ? It doesn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.179.109.126 ( talk) 16:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Don't bother debating people on Wikipedia about celebrity IQs. They are absolutely obsessed with pretending they have IQs that no one has ever had in the history of the human race because they loved some character they played. They did the same with James Woods. They are wrong. They are irrational. They hurt the credibility of Wikipedia as a source. But they are numerous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.40.209 ( talk) 02:55, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
I added Masi Oka's Kendo rank of shodan (1st degree black belt) in the article, but I don't know how to cite it. I got the information from this interview. I don't know how to cite this properly. Any help is appreciated; thanks! Siyavash 14:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Most of the information in "Interests" is completely useless. He plays warcraft, collects manga and watches romantic comedies? Wow! How useful information! It's also not cited.
I totally disagree - it gives the viewer an insight into their character. I thought this information was very relevant. -- Wendy is here 15:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Don't know where to add this but I strongly suspect he is the voice behind one of the characters in "Furi kuri" (aka FLCL or Fooly Cooly) - check episode 2 (Japanese original version) around 11:45 into the episode - the guy with the big glasses - that has to be his voice. I haven't been able to verify though - anyone? Thomas 11:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
So what's his name in kanji?
Why doesn't this article state which Elementary/Middle school he went to, I'm pretty sure the people who go to that school would LOVE the recognition from this article. -- Iluvmesodou 09:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC) There is absolutely, positively no reason why I'm mentioning this...
TV talk shows, such as Tonight Show and The Ellen Degeneres Show, are not considered filmography. Besides, other actors' pages do not include them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.92.232 ( talk) 04:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
He played the role of Agent Osaka in Jane Doe: The Ties That Bind (2007). (He appeared in two scenes (roughly at 28 and 50 minutes).) It may not be worth adding this to his list of credits, depending on how complete and what the criteria is for adding roles, but he was credited in the film credits, if that makes a difference. 87.114.129.170 ( talk) 01:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
There is no mention of his living in England, I've heard him in interviews with N American accent, yet in "Heroes", when narrating, he has a definite if not excellent English accent. Unless we're mistaking the voice. Anyone know why?
Many I know in Japan love the series, unfortunately it is only available from video stores. I had almost assumed the reason for so much Japanese used on the program, that they'd intended it to be broadcast in Japan. Though even my Korean friends who speak Japanese find Mr Lee's Japanese too Korean-accented. So maybe that theory is outright wrong.
Enjoy the show, especially those two.

I cannot find any information on when he moved to America. He has an accent when he normally talks, so he must already have been a preteen by that point, but it must also have been before 1987 that he was in the Time article. Does anyone have information on when he moved from Tokyo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.255.3.117 ( talk) 00:45, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
