• I frequently play VRChat, especially within the Japanese event scene. Under the alias "Ken_Rou", I have been a roleplaying cast member for numerous event groups. The most notable of them is "Hotel Qadesh", a Movie Production/Roleplaying event group, where I am both a roleplaying cast member and official provider of English captions to the movies released on YouTube. We had an IRL event in Tachikawa, Tokyo on August 3rd, 2024, which I was in charge of handling merchandise and setting up the venue. (YouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/@QADESH_PROJECT)
• Video games in general is my biggest hobby, especially competitive shooters like Apex Legends. I tend to be the in-game leader, due to my proficiency in improvising under stress. I have played with both English and Japanese friends and teammates, and can demonstrated leading skills in both languages, sometimes in tandem with a multi-national group.
