What?
I devote much of my time on Wikipedia to writing and editing Japanese-related articles, not out of any obsession or acute interest, but mostly because here on English Wikipedia there's so much uncovered ground. I prefer writing original articles rather than editing and adding to already established ones, as I worry that those who've written before me will be upset or annoyed with my edits. I'm still very much in an E2 mindset, where you don't edit anyone else's words, but I'm getting better.

Articles I Feel Responsible For
Ego stroking time. These are the articles I either wrote the first iteration of, or feel I have contributed heavily to:
- Wrote Firstly
- Wrote Mostly
They're my babies, but they don't get hardly as much attention as they should. The last three are especially lacking, since the majority of the information on these bands/manga/people are in Japanese. I speak and read a little Japanese, but not enough to do any deep research of Japanese materials. I'd appreciate the efforts of anyone with Japanese smarts who wants to head over there and flesh them out.
My current/next project is Kitano Takeshi, which although was already rather large when I got to it, focused mainly on his films. I'm working on cutting out most of the film information (unless it comments on his career on a filmmaker), adding more information about his general celebrity status in Japan, his books, his TV shows, his radio shows, his early life, and so on; and organizing the information better.
