Heylo thar.  I'm Shuuichi, but you can call me Shuu.

My nickname came from my obsession with the anime/manga Gravitation but turned into an identity based on my crazy personality and my cosplaying Shindou Shuichi.  (I like to claim that it also came from Nakatsu Shuichi of the manga Hanazakari no Kimitachi e.)

I'm an 18-year-old senior in high school, soon to be freshman at VCU for the arts.

I have lots of hobbies; drawing, reading books and manga, writing, role-playing, cosplaying, playing video games, watching TV shows and anime and horror flicks, and posting in forums.

I've also been to 11 anime conventions, my favorites of which are AMA and Otakon.  So far I've cosplayed Shindou Shuichi from Gravitation, Asato Tsuzuki and Byakko from Yami no Matsuei, and Isshin Shiba from Juvenile Orion.  I'm planning on cosplaying Arisato Minato from Persona 3 (PS2) and Pit from Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) this coming AMA.

I've taken 3 years of Japanese and 1 year of French, and I've been to France twice.  I'm an orange-one-stripe belt in Tae Kwon Do.
