Have been an anime fan since BOTP and Star Blazers in the late '70s, and wrote a few fanfics (Yamato, Ashita No Joe, God Mars) in the early '80s. Although I got sidetracked by Real Life--working as a writer and copy editor for a sports magazine--I kept an eye on anime, and the fires were gradually rekindled through the '90s by F, Juushin Rygar, Gundam Wing, Escaflowne and Midori No Makibaoh (scary, huh?). I currently work near Nagoya, Japan, and am especially crazed for Saiyuuki and One Piece. A few of my favorite characters are Yabuki Joe (Ashita No Joe), Sagara Sanosuke (Rurouni Kenshin) and Sa Gojou (Saiyuuki), and I'm passing the off-work hours in my lonely li'l apartment by trying to write fanfic again...Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
