I'm a former Japanese pop star in exile for being too cute for my own good. I also used to be a model in Hong Kong. Now I live in the Philippines and am often mistaken for one of the many Korean immigrants. Fear me, for I am the ultimate transient postcultural Asian.

I try to maintain a pseudo-intellectual blog about Anglophonic manga and anime consumption called Bentophysics and sometimes I do book and comic reviews for local publications.

Current Obsessions - 21st century American television, the science and art of science and art, the dramedy of business, retro-futurism (or paleo-futurism), fanboy theory, institutional respect systems, writers on writing, timewarping social issues, paradigmaan, smaartehan, cultural differentials, audience engineering, subcultural historiography, comics phenomenology, weirdness privilege, historical evolution of heroism, the continuing rape of Mars Ravelo.

My current pull list (as limited by my pathetic disposable income rather than taste) - Desolation Jones, DMZ, Fell, Scalped, Stormwatch: PHD, The Ultimates

Favorite creators (most favored works in parentheses): Mike Allred (X-Statix), Sergio Aragones, Philip Bond (Vertigo Pop! London), Tommy Lee Edwards (The Question), Warren Ellis (Fell, Global Frequency, Apparat line), Duncan Fegredo (Face), Seth Fisher (Vertigo Pop! Tokyo), Michael Gaydos (Powerless), Tony Harris (Ex Machina), Stuart Immonen (Superman: Secret Identity), Jen Van Meter (Hopeless Savages: Ground Zero), Mark Millar (Chosen), Peter Milligan (Face, Vertigo Pop! London), Cameron Stewart (Seaguy), Yoshihiro Tatsumi (The Push Man and Other Stories), Craig Thompson (Goodbye Chunky Rice), Adrian Tomine (Summer Blonde), Brian K. Vaughan (Ex Machina, Runaways), Andi Watson (Breakfast Afternoon), Brian Wood (DMZ, Demo)

Does my new avatar edge close enough to virtual kei-ness? :)

My girlfriend takes a lot of pictures of me emphasizing my Canto-pop-ness.

Thank you for being my bestest friend, Ourchair.

And yes, you can touch me down there. You always can.
