Tōten Miyazaki registered Sun for his safety under the name Nakayama (中山) at the "Crane Hotel" (對鶴館). This name would later be converted to the more popular Chinese name Sun Zhongshan (孫中山).[1] On 7 September 1900, Sun's first overseas visit to Singapore was to rescue Miyazaki Toten who was arrested there. This act resulted in his own arrest and a ban from visiting the island for five years.[citation needed]
The Nanjing Historical Remains Museum of Chinese Modern History has bronze statues of Sun and Miyazaki placed alongside each other.[citation needed]
In 1902 Miyazaki became a naniwa-bushi (Rōkyoku) balladeer and apprenticed to Tōchūken Kumoemon. He attempted to articulate his philosophy to ordinary Japanese people through the art form.[2]
