Greetings. My name is Kyuu. Like probably many on this Wiki, I have been drawn to the game of mahjong starting with this series. I had initially watched the first season without any knowledge of the game, until one of my online friends pointed me to Saikyo no Mahjong 3D. From then, I ended up figuring out this game with the addition of Tenhou.

Ultimately, after one year and viewing season 1 well over 30 times per episode, I ended up seeking a Japanese Mahjong group within the local Chicagoland area, with whom I gather up to play the game for real. With the help of this group, I look to utilize access via anime conventions, particularly Midwestern area conventions, to help spread Japanese mahjong by presenting the game, teaching new players, and meeting people already knowledgeable of the game.

In Tenhou, you may see me as KyuuAA in the random lobby or in 7447.
