Toshiki is a masculine Japanese given name whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen. Common “Toshi-” graphs include 俊 (talented), 敏 (quick, clever), 利 (benefit), 寿 (longevity), and 年 (year/harvest), while “-ki” is often 樹 (tree), 輝 (radiance), 基 (foundation), 貴 (noble), 紀 (chronicle), 希 (hope), 規 (standard), or 喜 (joy). Examples include 俊樹 “talented tree,” 敏輝 “quick-witted radiance,” 利基 “beneficial foundation,” and 俊貴 “talented and noble.” Standard Hepburn romanization is Toshiki; in Kunrei/Nihon-shiki it appears as Tosiki. The name can also be written in kana (としき / トシキ).
Usage rose steadily through the late Shōwa into early Heisei, aligning with the broader popularity of -ki endings, and it remains familiar without being overly common. Notable bearers include former Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu (海部俊樹) and baseball pitcher Toshiki Sakurai (桜井俊貴). Informal variants include the nickname Toshi, and related “Toshi-” names include Toshio, Toshihiko, and Toshiyuki.
