Yoshiki Foundation America, led by international superstar Yoshiki, has donated $500,000 to various organizations for disaster relief following the Los Angeles wildfires. Beneficiaries include MusiCares, World Central Kitchen, and the American Red Cross. This initiative reflects Yoshiki’s commitment to aiding communities in crisis, as shown by his previous campaign that raised over $10 million for Ukraine war victims by mobilizing his fanbase.
Yoshiki, a Los Angeles resident for nearly 30 years, expressed his deep emotional connection to the city and its struggles, even canceling overseas appearances to support his community. The foundations will use the funds for food, shelter, and emotional support for wildfire victims. Yoshiki has a history of philanthropy, recognized as one of “Asia’s Top 30 Heroes of Philanthropy” by Forbes in 2019 and awarded a Medal of Honor by the Japanese Government in 2021. Besides his charitable work, Yoshiki has ongoing projects in music and fashion, including a clothing line and a film.
