*Pegasus refers to another "horoscope" like thing. I''ve seen other artists call themselves this as well. I think it''s referring to this thing called CharaNavi. Nowadays the term refers to something else, but a year or so ago it referred to this horoscope-like system that helped people find the kind of jobs they were suited for or something.
(Note: It's recently been changed to -miyavi-l [Miyavi-sama], but because the stroke count looks bad, that's been put on hold for now.)
(Note2: To advance into overseas markets he's called himself ''MYV'', but he's kind of given up on that for now)
**Miyavi references two different manga to try to describe his current hair style. Click the links for pictures of the manga.
