..Japanese culture, traditional Japanese Budo (Ninpo and Jujutsu), anime/manga, cosplay, reading, music (mostly listening, some guitar playing & sporadic songwriting), movies, food (Japanese, Chinese, BBQ), good beer, hangin' out with friends, travel, computers & surfin' the Net, spiritual development and experiences.

Hardly any time for TV (working night-shift will do that). Honestly, I watch more stuff via the Web than on the tube. I enjoy anime fansubs, online TV show episodes, and other stuff. Some fave shows are "Human Weapon", "Fight Quest", "Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations", "The Ultimate Fighter", "Pimp My Ride", etc.

As well, my heroes in the Ninpo traditions: Toshitsugu Takamatsu Sensei, and Soke Shoto Tanemura (Genbukan Ninpo Bugei/Kokusai Jujutsu Renmei/Amatsu Tatara Bumon Shumon):
