In 1971 John Juanda was born in Medan, Indonesia, before later moving to the USA in 1990 so that he could join Oklahoma State University. He reportedly first played poker on the flight over, and through the next 7 years, the foundations of a great poker career were slowly being built. Despite moving to the states for education purposes, and spending large part of his poker career there, in recent years he has relocated to Japan, where he currently lives. According to Juanda, the city of Tokyo, its hospitality, and its food were defining reasons for his taking up permanent residence there.
