Forbes Asia Names Japanese Rock Star Yoshiki One Of 30 Heroes Of Philanthropy 2019
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Forbes Asia has named Japanese rock star YOSHIKI one of Asia's 30 Heroes of Philanthropy in 2019.
Forbes' 13th annual Heroes of Philanthropy list honors billionaires, entrepreneurs, and celebrities who are committed to solving the most pressing issues facing the Asia-Pacific, including Jack Ma (former chairman of Chinese multinational conglomerate Alibaba), Azim Premji (founder and chairman of India's giant tech firm Wipro), and Suh Kyung-bae (CEO of Amorepacific Group, South Korea's largest cosmetics company).

Forbes highlights YOSHIKI's ongoing commitment to world change through his 501(c)(3) Yoshiki Foundation America, which has raised over $1.5 million dollars in its mission for disaster relief, environmental recovery, cancer research, and education in Japan and the United States as well as other areas worldwide.
