The Early Years 1

holy smokes! those are some old pics of your room! i'm surprised u took pics of your room over the years...

OMG!! Kylie then Hikaru everywhere!! (the first pic is more stunning though... Pics plastered without any empty space) ^^

Holy, you used to be a pretty good artist Danny!!!
Maybe I should take pictures of my room too and stages........
Kylie over load...
I wonder if my first experience in Japan will be a good one!!!

This is AWESOME Danny!!! Wow-- I love it! I think it would have been so cool to be one of your childhood friends! So--- you speak English, Cantonese and Japanese! That is so cool!! Any other languages? Studying Japanese is difficult EVEN WITH the 'net. I am trying to do it right now. Lucky for me I have a live-in tutor who's from Sendai. :-)

Whoa, thats some Kylie Minogue patronage right there. I like "Spinning Around" the most out of all her songs.

I'm gonna be completely honest here and a lot of old friends know about it. I used to be a huge Britney Spears fan. The inner pages of my high school binder was composed entirely of her pictures, completely the opposite of my goth kid appearance. When I got into college all my fanboyism just disappeared, (must've been the crowd I hung out with). Ah the folly of being young and naive.

Kylie celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday. U should have emailed her ur shrine photos so maybe she might send u a gift. I heard she was giving away gifts for her loyal dedicated fans, past or present.

Playing games and watching anime at the same time, I should try that. ^_^

nice room... currently, my room is a mess, and honestly, there is nothing to show of my room...

When I was living in London (2003-2004), there was a TV station (can't remember which one-- Channel4 maybe?) that played Kylie's 'Love At First Sight' video EVERY morning around 07:30. I don't know why that was, but it pretty much got me started every day before going to work.

ow Danny.. your wish already came true... I'm envious of you. ^^

nice artworks.

I have to be honest, your past room freaks me out. It's like what you would see in a movie for a crazy psychopath's room.

Much prefer your current room ^_^

Whoah! You were truly 80s material! You were a real Otaku, Danny!

Wow, you seemed to have an obsession with this women, never heard of her before.

You can actually draw very good Danny! I never knew you could draw.

Aha! I spotted your C64 on the 2nd picture! :)

Quite an archaeological report, Professor Choo. :P Thanks for sharing these interesting layers of your past.

Great article Danny, 90's sucks...

Wow, that's really a BIG turn out from your past room to your current state XD

I thought I could only see your old type of room in movies XD

That's one nice "Evolution"!!

Psycho room FTW! ROFL
They were all TEH RAGE back them..

I remember I had lots of rock band posters glued to my room walls...

And had lots of friends with dolphin care material...

Incredible time machine there Danny... I don't think I have pictures of my wall from years ago.

But anyways, yeah I have a crush on several 2D girls... kinda brave (or stupid) to admit that being my age and all, but meh, who cares. It's not like I don't have crushes on 3D girls too.

before my otakudom i was obsessed with Orlando Bloom, how your room was with posters of Kyle i had Orlando, but with internet my computer was also chock filled with orlando goodies. Only thing of him i have left after i discovered 2d boys and real boys is my cardboard cut out for Lord of the rings...

I don't like to think of the dark ages (Pre. Internet)

It's amazing how much one can change in so little time.

Damn, Devil Hunter Yoko and VHS! That is oldschool.

A PC Engine! I miss my old PC Engine. I had such good games for it.

wow WOW danny haha that is so COOL! :D I gotta head out now will be back to take a look again LOL

WOW i mean wow ahhh seeing that reminds me of my old room hehe. Wow danny the pictures sure showed the transition back then being an american otaku was hard not like today. Nice thanx for sharing

Very interesting article, Danny!
I couln't draw better trousers.

Incredible that you have pictures of your room that far back. I have to confess though, I was crazy over Kylie Minogue back in the early 90's as well. will be looking forward on your pics with them Danny. ^^

nice pencil art! i see you used to be a gamer back in your youth ^^... not like you're that old now. haha

This is inspiring. I think I know what I'm missing now with regards to my life purpose: the level of desperation and forced sort of resolve I could get without access to the internets that have drowned me with virtual distractions, making my life overly comfortable and stagnant and slowing me from deciding where to settle occupationwise. I can see how disciplined you could get by taking this difficult path and making it through.

Wow what a great room. If I didn't live with my Boyfriend I'd probably have wallpaper made out of anime posters and wallscrolls. But alas I get the corner around my desk for such things, not that he minds, I just don't want to take over the whole apartment ^o^
I really like that first pencil drawing, the background is so detailed!

Lol, wooow, what a blast from the past, Danny! I couldn't help but giggle all through out when reading this post of yours. XD

oh my god..that's a lot of kylie. How many magazines, newspaper clippings, posters, advertisments did u have to HOARD to amass zero-free-space-wall?

I shared a room for most of my life so i wasn't able to pimp out my room in sucha drastic manner =p

And a Happy 40th Birthday for Kylie for yesterday ... BIG fan myself, then and now. Saw her in concert a few times and as lucky enough to go VIP once with Frontier Touring .... helps to know people who work for Michael Gudinski ;>)

Also attended a "Kylie" party a few years back in Melbourne .. still to this day, goes down as 1 of the best 5 party nights of my life ... AMAZING!

Man, even though I'm not that old, I understand how life has changed through phases of my interests. Like, I think I liked Scooby Doo as much as you liked Kylie, and then Pokemon came and... I guess that's what triggered my Otaku-ism.

Gosh, Danny, I love how you make me think really hard about life and other people. Makes me feel less ronrey.

oh my gg! when you mentioned in passing that you used to l i k e kylie minogue, I wasn't expecting an obsession! How did you have room to think?

for a romance picture, it is really suprising that the location is so detailed! xD Its important that its in Japan? right?

I am in love with Arashi at the moment! Slowly accumulating a pile of magazines I can't read at all.

I didn't know that you draw well; those 2 artworks are pretty good. By the way, did you draw much echii stuff with your 2D girl other than kiss? :p

Just out of curiosity Danny-san, after reading the article and going through the links in the site, are you the son of Jimmy Choo, the famous shoe designer? Anyway I think you achieved quite a lot without being in anyone's shadows. You are the epitome of a hard working Asian!!! Kudos to you!!!

Nice drawings!!

You really were a fan of kylie, ajaj

KAEDE FUYOU

ahem

Wow, uh, did you take those pics thinking one day you'll have a blog where you'll post this wacky old and embarrassing stuff.

my room sucks a lot before senior high ^^;;;

it was my parent who took control of my room, but not anymore ^^

Playing games and watching anime at the same time - whoa, that's kinda tough, I wonder how you could do that. ^^

I think you may have subconsciously mastered http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guo_Jing#Shuang_Shou_Hu_Bo_.28Technique_of_Ambidexterity.29.28.E9.9B.99.E6.89.8B.E4.BA.92.E6.90.8F.29 ^^

Danny, how'd you pick up on so many different dialects?

I've got English and Cantonese as my main languages, and Japanese as a work in progress. I'm going to need to intensify my exposure to the Japanese language somehow...

I miss the old days... I may be only 18 but so much has changed in the past 20 years. Am I the only one who thinks that modern civilization may be advancing too quickly?

I notice the title is "The Early Years 1".

So I guess a part 2 is coming in the future? :D

Wow, I'm speechless. I was in lurve with Kylie a few years ago but not to such an extent...

I'm astounded to see the chronological picture of Danny's room, it's like watching The-Making-Of documentary & it's really amazed me.

Your artworks were great! No wonder you have a groundwork in design/drawings.

Left eye focus on gameplay, Right eye focus on watching anime, u really fully utilize both of your eyes ^^;

I'm totally Speechless, admired your will-power more than ever, you'll have my bow for as long as I live

m(_ _)m

m(_ _)m

m(_ _)m

wow, i was barely born in 1988, and your room is amazing... look at all the kylie minogue!

Wow, you actually took pictures of your room setups. I don't think I ever thought of doing that.

My god its changed from today's setup.

Holy shit Danny.. I don't know if you shouldve posted all that :)

It looks so dirty.. and messy.. but most of all, it looks obsessed, I think. It's a good thing you've turned your full attention to your company now :) If I had been one of your parents in the early 90ties, I wouldve been seriously worried :) Too bad we didn't meet back then :) We couldve been friends.. gah, it sucks to have grown up without Internet!

Ah the classic 90's anime. I think still have copies of Dangaioh lying around somewhere. Speaking of Nishida Hikaru I remember seeing her and two other ladies on a Japanese celebrity talent show playing some medley with xylophone keys strapped to their bodies. They were actually really good. Nice pencil art btw, good perspective drawing.

never been to love with anything...
well except 1 in my elementary school 'there was a girl...' k, nuff
after elementary, i never fall in love in anything.
maybe that's what i lack of...
o btw danny, nice art, desperate ppl can draw, damn
i can't even do that on sanity(never desperate LOL)

Scary walls O_o. I have only like 15 posters most of them about cars.

Wow! You sure "can't get Kylie out of your head!"

What did your friends think when they saw your goddess shrine?

Wow, Danny... what a lovely look at your room and lifestyle!The layout is good, made me feel as if I was a fly on the wall XD

I must say, I'm pretty surprised at your love for Kylie.. as I've only really had one obsession ( I'd rather not think of it. I can somehow relate to your entries though, like the transition to Otakuism and such.. very interesting indeed!

Your drawings are lovely, I think you should consider more art related work as well ^-^
Oh, last but, not least... I admire your ability to speak so many languages! I am able to speak English and Afrikaans for now but, in future I'm learning Japanese and Arabic ... perhaps in the future I'll try Korean, Chinese and German.

Very nice flashback Danny. I still love both 2D and 3D girls tho. Offtopic: Why don't you make pictures to open in a floating window when enlarged? Every time I enlarge a pic, it opens in the same window. Then, when I want to come back to the article, I have to hit back button and then the page reloads itself and take me back at the beginning of the article. Then I have to scroll down to where I was before I enlarged the image. A bit annoying IMHO.

Your room reminds me of one of my friend's room. She had all the walls covered with images. Great drawings too. I wish I could draw. T-T

look like so eighty's!! disgusting fashion i thet years

Wow Danny, this really shows how old you are (evil grin). Really nice to see the transformation occuring. BTW did you really do those pencil artworks? They look amazing; especially how the perspective is perfect and sharp (I always cut corners and then it looks crappy)....

nice perspective drawing danny :) that was cute heehee

hmm I guess you've come to a point of age where you're no longer embarassed about those stuff I guess. But what amazed me is how you managed to learn japanese that way XD

hehe you're to inspire more of us ;)

Man, that makes me feel old too!!! Tho I'm more a child of the early 90s than 80s.

My first 3D crush was Cindy Crawford and, even as a little boy who thought girls were evil, I also had a thing for Christina Ricci when I watched the addams family movie, even now...

But as for 2D loves, first and foremost, Rei Ayanami!!! The women from the old 70s Mecha shows I watched were good, but i never really got into them. Oh, and the brunette from Dangaioh is Mia Alice. Best dangaioh girl, not that the selection was particularly big (no more than 4 for the entire thing)

Maybe I should try and make a living in Japan too. I still have time!

Now THAT is a huge transformation.

Very nice article, it's always great to recall about how our personal hobby/passion have developed since all those years.

all those pitures on the walls make you look more like a psycho stalking someone ready to strike if anyone gets near her

"Evolution of The Otaku" By Danny Choo =p Charles Darwin would be proud ^^

hah, wow. that's actually really interesting. 1988? 'long time ago. looks a lot messier than your current office!

now that's an oldskul otaku room ^^

I would be scared if I entered in a room like that ^_^U

gosh.. i was born in 1988...

you mean people actually have hair like that.. so weird

I have taken photos of my model shelves ove rthe years since I started the downward slide into Otakuism... but they need organising (and scanning). Danny's drawings say a lot more than any number of photos however...

I see the otaku was strong within you from a very early age, Danny! X)

Man, that room with all those Kylie pics and posters is just... well, mesmerizing! I wonder what that day was like when you took down all of them and began re-covering your walls with 2D & Japanese beauties.

I, too, watched Macross in Cantonese originally in HK and then again in English as Robotech on Saturday mornings when we moved to Australia.

For me, my childhood crushes were/are Maggie Cheung (3D) and Princess Swan (2D) from Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets. Later as a teenager I had a calendar of Cindy Crawford in my room.

Had Mega Drive but never got the Mega CD. Had the PC Engine Duo as well and an imported Japanese Super Famicom when Street Fighter II came out. I also had one of those things that plugged in between the cartridge and the Super Famicom. I tried to relearn all the Chinese I had forgotten as well as some Japanese when playing games like Snatcher and later Tokimeki Memorial and FFVII on PS1.

Your pencil drawings are quite detailed especially that one with you and Hikaru in Akihabara. Very nice perspective!

Seeing everyones' rooms makes me want to show mine but I don't have that my photos of my old setup, which is unfortunate. And I'm currently in the midst of moving, so will have to wait until my new otaku space is all set up!! ^__^

The first thing that I thought while looking at the pictures was "OMG Danny was a stalker!"
And the world without the internets was indeed a hard one to find almost everything.

I never knew you can speak Cantonese well, Danny. Back then, the best and latest anime stuff outside Japan came in the form of Hong Kong Cantonese dubs, which I grew up with, from Captain Tsubasa to Dragonball and such.

Just judging by your first photo, it's hard to fathom how you transformed into a typical 1980s Brit pop junkie into sophisticated 21st century Akiba otaku.

Oh dear, Danny. Kylie AND Jason??!?

Let me say that your room is not boring at all. My rooms have always been clean for the most part. Not much on the walls or even ground. I had a lot of stuff, just I always had room for them. Not anymore, but I did. LOL!

your pictures of you and hikaru gave me a chuckle XD

OMG!!! I don't think I had that many celeb pics in my room back in the 90's. But that was because my mom only let me put pics on my closet doors. :) I need to invest in another computer. It's getting crowded on this one.

You sir, are a God. wish my room was as cool as that.

Wow! Nice pic! I wish I can have some old pic with my old toys too!
My first love (2D girl) was Ramu from Urusei Yatsura when I was in gr.9. I even saved my lunch money just to buy the whole set of manga. XD

back in 1988...i was born haha
you are actually a pretty good artist =)
i have never really fallen in love with any 2-d characters...maybe back when i was little..i think i was in love with the dragonball z characters but it's funny because i was obsessed when i was back in kindergarten...maybe i realized afterwards that they wouldn't appear in reality =p

my room is pretty boring...maybe when i move out and have a bigger room i can start making it look fantastic haha

I wish I took pictures of my room years ago... guess I'll just start now!

Your room is so 80's lol, did you have an awesome 80's hairstyle to boot danny??!

NICE BOAT errr ROOM Danny!

I don't wanna know, how mine ll look in 10 years.

This is a cool editorial. The transition from a idol otaku to 2D otaku.

you were one sick little puppy weren't you Danny boy!

There are some music artist here I admire, group that plays flamenco and rumba, but not until this extreme...

By the way, Danny, want to learn some more spanish? Sure I can help on this matter... Allow me to show you some useful expressions...

Bragas - Pantsu, femenime underwear
Pechos - Breasts (another word is tetas, but the other is more polite, know I mean, lol)
Pezon - Nipple
Escote - Neckline, yoko-pai
Friki - Otaku, freak

Sure you fell more wise now XD

Oh wow, don't think I'll ever be that dedicated to someone as a fan. Looks cool though :-)

I came to US around early 90s and posted bunch of anime posters that came with Newtype megazine which were pretty expensive at the time. I didn't really fall in love with any real person but I think I did like few 2D girls. I think first 2D girl I like was Noriko from Gun Buster series. Gun Buster was one of the first anime that I saw in English subtitle so maybe able understand the story made the character more likeable.

But those room pics from 88 are top notch Danny, shows your true fandom!

Wow! Nice room! Not my style, but looks cool none the less.

I don't mind relive the 90's again. The music from Kylie Minogue (She only released two albums in the state), the PC Engine games (I always play it at my friend house. The JPN version not the US version), and the Japanese idol musics and animes. ROCK ON!

Danny. You and I have 95% in commands. The only different are you learn to speck Japanese, live in Japan, and own your software company. On the other hand, I couldn't find a programmer job, even thought I have a degree in Computer Science. I stuck in a dead end job. Everybody that I know do better than me. Life is suck in the state. Beside all the otaku stuffs, driving my car in the state that keep me alive.

I notice you had several posters of Reiko Miura (She from CoCo) on the wall. I wonder is she in the show biz? She so cute. COCO FOREVER!

Wow, nice room you had Danny! Alot of posters, your room looks like a large collage!

Wow anime during that time looks awesome, I wishe I was born then... I like the girl with the grey hair from Dangaioh...

Wow nice pencil art! I didn't know you could draw so well, you're making me jealous Danny! And LOL both the pencil art had you and Hikari in it...

I think someone have very good taste in music! Kylie Minogue is amazing, and even though she's not my generation, i still listen to her tracks once in a while because i believe she can actually sing, unlike many artists today. Plus, that was back when they didn't super-edit their voices to be in tune, so she must be very talented.

Lol but yeah that's certainly a huge change ^^

it seems that danny's rooms seemed to be much more livelier and entertaining than my room as walls are dull white without much stuff to decorate, to lazy to post pictures and what not >.> but did notice that danny rather good pencil artist with scenery and perspective. cool stuff, draw some more and post in an art/doodle section

(≖ _ ≖ )

1st few pics..im shocked. barely see the wall at all.

Ahh must say your room looked little creepy back in the time, maybe thats because the posters/pictures are of actual person and not just 2D girls :)

But really nice drawings, didn't know you are that good.

Bonus points for C64, the best in the old days, at some point I had 3 of em.

omg, the room was really cool...everywhere also poster.

Danny, I feel like you will know you will share your room in the future so you have taken the picture during that time?

Whoah, that's some hardcore dedication you had.

Its amazing the transformation you have gone. Your old room was kinda creepy.

BTW, much praise on your artwork. You're a great artist.

Sorry to say that, but your room looked liked some kind of serial killer lair to me ^^

Anyway, I'm only 21, that probably a time the people of my age can't understand :p

wow. danny man. that 1988 room is just without words. plain epic on so many levels. the transition to otaku is monumental aswell lol. good stuff, you should post more stuff about your history on the site!

"all health care material was paper based" yeah i can tell LOL! i already stopped asking myself "where'd he get the glue from?"

You know, until I started glimpsing Hirano Aya earlier this year, I never really had a fixation with any idol/actor/seiyuu/model, Japanese or otherwise. There's just something about her that's so soft, it makes my heart all warm and fuzzy, and I usually only get that way about women I know. ^^;

Now that I look at my current room, it seems so bland...

Thanks for sharing these epic photos!

wow i like the pics of ur room over the years..as if u know u'll have a blog to post it later on ^^
my room is still the same since i moved into..lol

Amazing! I'd never thought, didn't expect even, that you'd have a picture of your room from the early years. I'm amazed at the kylie wall. I'm a big fan of hers but I don't think I'd be able to do that. I'm also amazed at how fast the transition was. hahah. You think you wouldn't get over that fast with a wall shrine like that but wow. hahah.

I'm waiting for part 2 of this. :D

seriously amazed by the amount of stuff you had in your room back then. crazy that you were taking pictures as well. at the time, ppl would be wtf? lol

Words cannot describe how awesome your room was back in the day. Thanks for sharing!

(by the way, I'm new here)

how nostalgic:D
Nice TV/VCR set BTW.

Hey Danny, was your Kylie fettish pre or post moe discovery? From the looks of things it was post. My room looked much the same, except with Claudia and Britney (while she was good). Only discovered moe a while afterwards, and soon all my posters were switched with wallscrolls, heh.

Nice art work! ^.^ Great Job!

You has a claustrophobic room! Oh my god! :)

:3 For me, it was Yamato from Digimon Season 01~ *blush*

Great perspective on that 1st drawing of yours...

Aaaah, Dangioh... I remember renting the vid of that when I was a younger lad :D

this is the post that I must comment on!!!!!
LOL Danny you were really a funny dude, and Im sure we all see similarities among us as well, the wall papers, the FC machine, the drawings of us and the girls we liked kissing......:D
I mean, why not?! This is what teenage years should be!!!

Oh gosh...........so old. I'm glad I wasn't around to idolize 80s celebs. (no offense)

Gee-, if my walls looked like that, I would've gotten yelled at.
Your parents were cool-!

I'm still in Love with French Singer Alizee and Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar. Have a poster of both in my room, alongside a wall scroll of "Haruhi Suzumiya" and gang.

intense

Haha, I made collages, but only on paper. That must have taken a lot of time.

I was never allowed to have posters on my walls :(

I am still in search of all the mid-80s and early 90 anime. Somehow I regret not being able to watch them all, either because of school or I was too young to remember what they were. I have some success but far from reaching my goal. It's interesting to see old pictures of my own room... somehow remind me of my younger and foolish days.

Never let myself grow too attached to any particular 2D girl or live person. I have my favorite 2D girls rotation, they all take turn to get my attention. I might have a top 10 list or something.

wooow is all iv got to say.

Nice Posters in your Room ^^

I have only CarPosters and Calenders here ^^
When i was 15 i had a Poster from Pink in my room. That was all ^,^

Oh yeah, wallpaper made from celebrities posters and pictures, very impressive, reminds me of my cousins room (my parents never allowed such things :). Used to like Kylie Minogue a lot too, but my true love was Britney Spears, I still remember the lyrics of my all time favorite Born to make you happy.:D

The Williams-Renault Years. Those pictures depict years of raw V12 action in F1. Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Johnny Herbert, Heinz-Harold Fretzen, Mika Hakkinen, David Coulthard, Riccardo Patrese, Thierry Boutsen, and others.

That was a lot of big hair in the first few pics and your pencil drawing was incredibly clean.

Man, that is so cute though!

...
There goes my manly pride... T-T

Its kinda amazing to see how tidy and modern your room looks now.

Those drawings really are Kowai lol

80's room scare me haha XD
i'd find it creepy having so many people on the walls, feels like they're watching 0.0

I have a good laughs here. I diddnt have time in my life to be a otaku (wether I was huge fan of rock music). I was married at 18, divorced with 2 daugthers at 23 (now I am 42). But I always be a young soul and live my dreams. My first computer was and old 286 and I used to work in wordstar. The I switch to 386 with a 2400 modem to connect to a free board to download games (wolfestein and stuff). I began to work with computers to fix my own to play the Tomb Raider´s demo.

I quit from be an insurance agent (11 years of work, travel, and luxury conventions), to work with computers all the time. I open an internet cafe and do some technical support. Then I was robbed and lost everything but my brains. Since then, I work from home (web design, and do recovery of damaged hard disks). I am very happy now (my 2 daugthers go to the University now)

Since I was young I was a fan from Japan. I remember to watch Ultraman (on black and white), Señorita Cometa (didnt know the japanese name), La Princesa Caballero, and so on. My sisters used to watch Heidi, Remy, Candy, etc.

Some time after I see Tekkaman Blade, and buy some "sentimental grafitti" figures.

In 2005 I was able to start selling in one toy market (The Rock Show), where many people buy and sell used and new toys. I have luck and was a very succesfull selling gashapon. Then I move to another market and open one store. Now I think I need to quit because the government here is conservative and are doing many things to dissapear anime things (I comment this in my blog later...)

Anyway, than you Danny for the memories...

wooooo, wish my room looked like that XD

megadrive still play mine man its great but i have crappy games like moonwalker

very nice room!

I need to see more of your room: From 1996, 1997, and 1998, 'cause in '99, you left your "Madre patria"

lol, that's one crazy stalker room.. i used to love sandra bullock and then natalie portman, but not to that extent..

awesome that ariel was your first figure.. my fave disney movie and my obsession before anime and still to this day.. just got back from wdw in florida and took a million pictures at ariel's grotto.. they do not make enough ariel stuff for grown ups.. or guys, lol.. just princess crap.. so it's mainly walt disney classics statues and assorted artbooks for me...

very very cool but hmm.... look like a series killer room hehe JK!!

wow, and I thought I had been Kylie's no.1 fan!!

Gaiares for Megadrive!! I have it too!!! Man, I miss eighties...

OMG, reminds me of my room back when I was in junior High sch, but I was filled with posters of Footballers, American super heroes (from Marvel, DC and Image) and a few consoles like Atari and Sega megadrive to keep me glued to the tv. 8bit was the l33t! Before I left home I had to take down everything as my parents told me my room was going to be a guest room. Nostalgic stuff :)

You had been playing SUPER MARIO WORLD!!! I LIKE IT

Wow!!! I can see a cover of Sky magazine!! jeez, I used to love that mag along with ID!

魔物ハンター妖子懐かしす

Those were the days, eh?

And to think you could have been a mangaka. The sketches were sweet actually.
