*Also credited as 八島義孝 and, 八島喜孝.
*Credited as 八島善彦, in ''Rescueman'' #31.
*Credited as 八嶋善孝 in ''Fist of the North Star Movie''.
*He is known for his “Yashima Faces” on characters. They are a big tell if something is his work or not. For ex, His output in ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]''<ref>{{Cite web|Website=Twitter|URL= https://twitter.com/AnimeAjay/status/889105255866265601|Title=@AnimeAjay|Date=23 July 2017|AccessDate=19 January 2021}}</ref>
*Another thing he is known for is his speed, [[Naotoshi Shida]] described it by saying, "Mr. Yashima can use 50 times Kaioken!"<ref>{{Cite web|Website=Twitter|URL= https://twitter.com/naoV47/status/988778877148323840|Title=@naoV47|Date=24 April 2018|AccessDate=19 January 2021}}</ref>.
*He solos a lot of his episodes, doing Animation Supervision and animation work by himself. He is said to be able to do about 330 cuts in a month<ref>{{Cite web|Website=Twitter|URL= https://twitter.com/AnimeAjay/status/865019121293037569|Title=@AnimeAjay|Date=17 May 2017|AccessDate=19 January 2021}}</ref>, which is about an entire episode worth of cuts.
*Since he often does solo work, it is not bizzare to see him correcting himself<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/datwerg/status/1121026950527471616|Website=Twitter|Title=@datwerg|Date=24 April 2019|AccessDate=19 January 2021}}</ref>.
*Lastly, as for his work on [[Dragon Ball Z Episode 170]], he did the entire 1st half of the episode<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/datwerg/status/1121026950527471616|Website=Twitter|Title=@datwerg|Date=3 December 2020|AccessDate=19 January 2021}}</ref>. As to why he is uncredited for doing such a huge chunk of an episode is unknown.
