Gomenasai /jp/, my name is Ken-Sama.

I'm a 27 year old American Otaku. I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, God Hand)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer for Square Enix!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

The word for to laugh is 笑う, read "warau". This was shortened to （笑）, read "warai," which was then shortened to just "w" because Japanese can be input by typing out Roman character and then pressing space to convert them to kanji and kana. Then to express a higher degree of laughter, it was repeated, like ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ. This looks like a row of unmowed grass, so eventually they just started saying 草 instead of ｗｗｗ

Gomenasai /jp/, my name is Ken-Sama.

I’m a 27 year old Danmaku Otaku (Bullet Hell fan for you gaijins). I draw frilly skirts and smug faces on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Touhou games. (PCB, Mystic Square, SA)

I train my grazing every day, this superior play style can avoid thousands of bullets because they are programmed by ZUN, and is vastly superior to any other scoring system on earth. I got my first 1CC two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I can read Japanese fluently, both the game menus and the scenario dialogue, and I know the memes as well. I know everything about Gensokyo's history and their spell card rules, which I follow 100%

When I get my handgun permit, I am moving to Gensokyo to live in the human village learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a priest for the Hakurei shrine or maybe marry Marisa!

I own several silly hats, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Gensokyo, so I can fit in easier. I smirk at my elders and seniors and challenge them to spell card battles as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Gensokyo!

Howdy Ken-Sama, my name is Kenichi Smith

I'm a 27 year old Japanese Toonaholic (Cartoon fan for you foreigners). I draw cartoons and comics on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior American games. (Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty)

I train with my 1911 every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through steel because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my gun license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak English fluently, both the Midwestern and the East Coast accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their Constitution, which I follow 100%

When I get my American visa, I am moving to New York to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Nickelodeon or a game designer!

I own several cowboy outfits, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I keep cool to my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in America!

ハハ was never used to indicate laughter on a forum or messageboard. A lot of Japanese net slang works similar to abbreviations like LOL, just based on Japanese words:

DQN is a representation of ドキュン which apparently comes from some TV show
(ry is from （略）where the character in the middle is read "ryaku" and means "abridged" or "abbreviated."
KY is from 空気読め (kuuki yome). You may also see 空気嫁 since the word for wife is also read "yome."
JS, JC, JK and JD are all from 女子高生 (josi kousei) and so on.
If you're a homo you might know that TDN is short for ただの which either is a surname or means "just a..."

What inspired the choices of games? I don’t see anything in common between PCB, Mystic Sqaure, or SA. Aside from the fact that they’re all Touhou games.

The original pasta had some reasoning behind the titles. Same with the Kenichi Smith variation. Maybe it was to prove he wasn’t a secondary. PCB is more well known than MS and SA the way Final Fantasy is far more popular than Disgaea and God Hand (though they’re all very popular games, one out of the three can always be picked out as the ultra casual)
The only reason this doesn’t apply to the kenichi smith version is because there aren’t any games that both partially define the US industry and fulfill a niche.

Interestingly, 黒 (black) may be formed by typing "くろ." Yet I'm not certain that saying "kuro jin" is the grammatically sound way to state "Black person."

In writing, "黒人" or "こくじん" is the way to write Black person.
https://jisho.org/search/黒人
https://www.kanjijapanese.com/en/dictionary-japanese-english/kokujin

I'd probably go with that, considering "kurojin" translates to expert or so.

Zdravo /jp/, my name is Ken.

I'm a 27 year old American Hajduk. I draw church icons on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Serbian games. (My Uncle Merlin, FEMINAZI: The Triggering, Chronicles of Ash)

I train with my Jatagan every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Serbian fluently, both Šumadijsko-vojvođanski and the Kosovsko-resavski dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Serbian history and their Dušanov zakonik, which I follow 100%

When I get my Serbian visa, I am moving to Belgrade to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Produkcija studio studio or a game designer for Svarog Studios!

I own several šajkače, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Serbia, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Serbian as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
