Miyavi writes, arranges, performs, and produces his own music. Though, recently he has been letting others help him with arrangement.
Miyavi has a mother, a father, and a younger sister. He is also close with his grandmother. (Neo vol.002, and others)
Both his grandparents on one side are 100% korean, making him half korean. (Arena37°C Dec. 2005, and others)

Miyavi played soccer when he was young, but due to an injury he had to quit, and began playing and writing music. It was a turning point in his life. Although he still enjoys soccer, he said he wouldn't go back to it.
Miyavi once made plans to attend a couple conventions in the United States in 2004 but could not attend due to the fact that a technician was ill. The entire tour was cancelled.
He made an attempt to quit smoking in the summer of 2003, and has been spotted many times, even to this day, using Paipo, which are like inhaler sticks that are made to help people quit smoking. We believe he has succeeded in quitting smoking.
He says he doesn't go shopping often cause his clothing is either donated by fans or he keeps them from the photoshoots or music videos he participates in. (LFX October 4th, 2005, and various other sources)
Even his beloved black accoustic guitar was a gift. (LFX October 4th, 2005)
Miyavi commented on of his tattoos, Omitoufu: "It is the speech in the Buddha literature of Wisdom. I want to spend my life to find the answer of my heart". (AIUEO Taiwan May 2004)
