Interview

Why did you become a journalist?

I love writing and wanted a way into the video game and anime industries. I saw this as my gateway while in high school.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

My most proud work was interviewing Naoki Yoshida-san, the lead producer of Final Fantasy XIV multiple times. https://www.vgr.com/ffxivs-yoshi-p-reveals-fate-of-ishgard-housing-new-summons-and-more/

What's your favorite drink?

Right now, my favorite drink has to be Thai Iced Coffee. Caffeine doesn’t sit too well with me so it’s a very rare treat.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

Hanging out in Japan, watching a movie, or cooking in the kitchen.
