message: Does anyone know what is meant here by "Ninjutsu"? Is the author talking about Bujinkan Taijutsu or Genbukan or what? Or could Mr Chiba be guilty of talking up his history? 220.233.180.191 07:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm unfamiliar with a Toyota Sunny - is there a possibility that perhaps this should be Nissan/Datsun? Nissan/Datsun have produced a series of cars under the "Sunny" since the 1960's and I would think it unlikely for Toyota to use the same title.

message: I have noticed this article is lacking in external links. Also the current external links needed to be updated and slightly corrected; which I have done for the most part. I will look for better external links to add to this page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tokyogaijin (talk • contribs) 19:46, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Sonny Chiba is awesome, but in Kill Bill it was his great acting, not martial skills, that were of acclaim.  This is confusing in the opening statement, because indeed Sonny Chiba was one of the first popular martial artists in cinema (although the 2nd reference claims he surpassed Bruce Lee?  probably excusable as the reference is nationally partial to Mr. Chiba)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.139.8.210 (talk) 19:14, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wife's name 

message: Can anyone verify that Chiba-san's listed birth date is correct? The majority of sources I've come across (Rotten Tomatoes, DirecTV, Famous Birthdays, KungFuKingdom, to name a few) seem to indicate that his birthday is in fact January 23. Only an Apple+TV profile and this Wiki article seem to cite it as January 22. His official website is currently down. Zargabaath (talk) 23:26, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: January 22 is also listed on his Japanese Wikipedia page and all of these Japanese sites: https://eiga.com/person/47510/, http://promide.com/page.php?s=628, https://talent.thetv.jp/person/0000002628/, http://www.astraia.tv/Chiba.html, https://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/228634/profile/Chanbara (talk) 13:38, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
