Akira

Role: Retired Otaku-in-Chief

Bio
Born in Kanagawa, living in Los Angeles. More of the “Shibuya” type than the “Akihabara” type. He joined the Nihon Review back in 2007 and has become a regular contributor. Beyond just writing anime reviews, he's done stints as a fansubber and has attended events like Comiket in Japan, releasing a doujinshi on at least one occasion.

He's also a huge fan of Touhou Project. He very rarely (whenever he's needed) writes for Gensokyo.org, and assists in translating the games here and there, also whenever he's needed.

Because he needs to conceal his power level in the hopes of not being a total loser during his time at college, he's removed all references to anime on his Facebook.

Akira is also an avid boardgamer like zzeroparticle though he often finds himself on the wrong side of a 'We Will Bury You'/'Missile Envy' headline when playing Twilight Struggle.
