Hotaru  

This user is an American who enjoys learning Japanese and has a love for animals. He initially joined the Japanese server to connect with his mother's culture, but later found that he felt more comfortable on the Japanese server due to its popularity among language learners. Despite being male in real life, Shugo, one of his friends from the anime .Hack//Legend of the Twilight, mistakenly believes him to be female. His name is derived from a character named Sanjuro who taught him about it during their first meeting on the server. He often struggles with language barriers and uses common Japanese phrases incorrectly or adds unnecessary "-desu" to his words. However, he has a friendly disposition and enjoys spending time with others, including nursing an injured Grunty back to health with Shugo's help. His class type is Wavemaster, and his avatar resembles Elk from the .Hack game series.
