| Introduction | I blog mostly about Japanese history, culture, folklore, music, and movies, in a meager effort to spread information to English-speakers. I like to write. A lot.
Not to say I won't have completely out-there entries that have nothing to do with that and make no sense at all. You'll get used to it. I was born in Japan and I'm currently living in NC, America, where I am a freshman in college. I play video games too much and read textbooks for fun. You can follow me on tumblr at dr-yokai or on twitter @kuwaidan. |
