Name: Alison, but I prefer to be called "Ali".
Location: Northumberland, England
Why do you love Japan: I've been obsessed with it for a long time. The language, the culture, the history... I don't know why.
Ever been to Japan, if so where: No. I plan to move there in a few years, though.
Interests: Reading, writing, computing, Japan, languages,
Other Gaian Hang Outs: ...I don't know. Oo;;;
Other Online Hang Outs: YIM, AIM, the internet in general, my forum Yugiohpalace, my other forum Kage no Chikara, my friend Emi's forum Metaxl... Yeah, we have more forums than that. Oo;;;
Personality: ...I don't think I'm a nice person, but my friends keep telling me I am, so I guess I must be. I have a confidence problem, I suppose - we term it SDD ("Shin Disbelieving Disorder") from one of my characters, Shin re'Gina Aino, who has a worse case of the same problem. ^^;;;; People tell me I'm smart, but I don't think I am, really. I don't trust people easily, but I'm loyal to the people who stick with me long enough to get me to trust them, and I'm pretty open-minded. Sadly, I tend to flip out over things which I see as insults. Sumimasen.
Any other Additional Info: I have a tendency to have serious obsessions over things. Really, if I start to be annoying, just tell me off, and I'll try to stop.

Name: Tony
Location: California
Why do you love Japan: I like ancient japanese history, mainly the warring states era, there is also the famous Tokyo Game Show, anime conventions, the ancient castles during the warring states, ninja houses, etc.
Ever been to Japan: No, but I would really like to go one day.
Interests: Anime, video games, samurais, ninjas, art, and japanese fashions.
Other Gaian hangouts: Pretty much browsing around.
Other Online Hangouts: None whatsoever.
Personality: I kind of have a shy and sensitive personality, but I am friendly and funny at times. People think I'm smart, but I merely don't use my whole potential, but I do make up for it with a somewhat recollective memory that allows me to memorize a lot of anime or movies that I like.
Other comments: Since my sensitivity leads to anger, just try not to think of a joke that I think is serious.

Name: Remy J, but my nickname and Gaian name is Maritini.
Location: United States
Why do you love Japan: I''ve always loved foreign cultures, which was sparked by my Royal Dairies Collection. So as a kid I went through different ''culture phases'' as my ''rents put it when I finally discovered Japan. At the time the only anime I had ever heard of was ''Sailor Moon'' but then it was cancelled. So when I grew up and I discovered the world of ''google'' and search engines I went on the hunt for its origins and eventually discovered anime and Japan. I know basic romanji and katakana and I''m throughly hooked on Japanese music (Utada Hikaru, Se7en, M-FLO, Chemistry, The Pillows, L''arc en ciel, BoA (yeah, I know she''s not Japanese, but some of her tracks are) Dir en Grey) and I''ve got a good load of Japanese history underneath my belt.
Ever been to Japan, if so where: Not yet, but through some exchange programs I plan on hitting Osaka or Tokyo in a few months.
Interests: Reading, writing, sleeping, food, music, anime, art, animals, nature (especially rare flowers) computer graphics, video games, dancing, sports (especially volleyball), student government, piano, violin, guitar, art club, debate club and just relaxing.
Other Gaian Hangouts: The Mansion of Roses
Other online hangouts: Fanfiction.net, neopets.com
Personality: My friends say I''m funny, my teachers say I''m eccentric. I''m a little kooky, bordering paranoid and I love to make people laugh. I love comedy and I''m a big klutz. I''m the kind the girl who would enjoy a comedic film over dinner and a walk on the beach any day! I try to find the good in people and things; I''m shy, but once I get to know and trust you, we''re cool. I love making up new words and I''m an oddball. My mouth is sometimes not connected to my brain so I say a lot of weird things. Sometimes I''m mega hyper and sometimes I''m mellow; I have a temper and my friends say I''m out going and I LOVE nature.
Additional Info: I love music; I incorporate it into everything I do. I have music on in the shower, while I''m studying, sleeping, everything. I''m uber lazy, though and mega slow and I''m moody.

Name: Koiyuki
Location: Bellflower, CA (right near Long Beach AND Compton, the two most Gangsta-fied places in America, and where the average life expectancy is 25 xd )
Why do you love Japan: Hmm....lessee....I love the cuture, the people, the food, the history behind it, the weaponry and philosophies (for the most part. "Wise bamboo sways with the wind" my foot...) and the general vibe of Japan, though its recently been going through an Amerification phase as of late...(meaning that they trying to cpoy everything ab out America, and losing their heritage in the process, and what makes Japan, Japan, but I won't get into that here)
Ever been to Japan:No, but someday...
Interests: Japanese Language, writing, drawing, talking to other people, and the like. I also like to help others in ther time of need.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: A lot, but my favorite is The Intelligent Perverts Guild (moderates there)
Other Online Hang Outs: Star Cross'd Destiny
Personality: I am one of a thousand masks, and I can easily switch from one to another. I could be hurting like hell on the inside, and you would be none the wiser. I show my true self to very few people, and those few people don't even include my own family members, so you can bet I don't show you whats inside me unless I let you. I have known to be something of a sage advice giver among my friends, and I like to think of myself like a storm in the dessert. I give you what you need, when you need it the most, and then, I vanish without a trace...
Any other Additional Info: I hope to be a Japanese Voice actor someday, and I also aspire to be an author and musician. I also love lots of different kinds of music, and my current addiction is Sakura Drops, by Hikaru Utada. (buy her US release, damn you! scream xd )
