I have many hobbies but most of my life I have had a special love for giant robots and vintage science fiction. I was born in Japan in the 70’s and some of my earliest memories are of Tokusatsu shows and movies. In the 80’s I consumed all the anime, comics and vintage TV shows I could find. My favorite has always been Marcoss (Robotech to some U.S. audiences).
I used to drool over Japanese model and anime magazines. I would save up and buy them whenever I could find them. They were very hard to get in those days and usually quite expensive. Even though I couldn’t read any of it I would study the photos relentlessly over and over again. I studied the master modelers then and I still build models today.
