Kito

I like to threaten inanimate objects with my fists :)

About Me

I graduated college with a degree in animation/illustration and work freelance on my shiny new power mac G5, which I also use to re-work my old and new artwork (you can check out some of my work under my pics). I'm half Japanese and the other half is a mix of Italian, Scot, Irish, and Native American, in case you were wondering... I like monkeys :D

My Interests

Animation of any kind, Mpeg 4 video compression, nunchuck wielding, gaming, samurai swords, kendo, the multiply blending mode in photoshop, character designing, Muay Thai kickboxing, works by Rembrandt and Goya, paintings by Guo Xi, prints by Hokusai and Hiroshige, beef sukiyaki, thai ice tea, pizza, honeydew-melon flavored bubble tea, playing baseball, volleyball, snowboarding, playing badminton wearing matching sweat bands, swimming under water, holding my breath for no damn good reason, testing my limits, getting smashed off sake' with good friends and doing karate in the middle of the street.

I'd like to meet:

Old souls, people from my past, my AIB friends, check in with those crazy kids from the pre-college program I worked at, see my family in Hawaii, punch Donald Trump in the head just to see what his "hair" would do, urinate on Hitler's grave at least once, get my ass kicked by the undead Bruce Lee, and walk with Siddartha Gautama through a forest.
