I'm relatively new to editing Wikipedia but have quickly started to love writing about various topics which interest me. I am mostly focused on Japanese culture and locations in Kyushu. I have had a particular focus on the Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita which is where I currently live. I've recently been getting a little bit more into Japanese foreign policy, so you might see me making some edits on the topic!

I can also speak and read Japanese. I have worked on expanding English pages that have far more extensive Japanese counterparts. I have also been adding sources in Japanese to various articles when English sources are not available.

I also enjoy adding pictures I took to Wikimedia Commons! I have attached some here:

  Ebisudani Valley (夷谷) from the Nakayamasenkyo hiking course
• 
  Nio Guardians on the Kunsaki Long Trail hiking course
• 
  Kumano Magaibutsu's torii and staircase said to have been built by a demon
• 
  Bungotakada's annual naked festival. I participated last year and I'm carrying the mikoshi through the river in this picture!
• 
  Matama Coast's tidal flats in Bungotakada
• 
  Umi Jigoku or "Sea Hell" at the Hells of Beppu
• 
  Memorial to the dead crew members of a B-29 bomber that crashed on Mount Hachimen (八面山), Nakatsu during WWII. There was a kind monk at the temple next to the site who told me the amazing story.
• 
  A torii at Futago-ji on the Kunisaki Peninsula. Torii are typically found at Shinto shrines, but due to the Rokugo Manzan temples being the origin of shinbutsu-shūgō, some elements of Shinto can be seen at these temples
• 
  Fūrin at Nyoirin-ji
