鳥星雨 is a rather poor net player. He plays much better using real tiles, and plays at his best in a jansou setting. This isn't because of any ability to read his opponents' actions when playing, but rather because he has a rather large mental block when grinding an online ladder point system. He has this mental block in other games as well, and has yet to break past it. That said, this problem is alleviated greatly when playing in unranked lobbies with his club.
鳥星雨 loves watching mahjong more than he does playing it. This leads to him organizing his own tournaments, and watching videos of the pros more than actually playing on Tenhou. However, he does enjoy the game on a casual and competitive level. For 鳥星雨, there is no better place for mahjong than a Shinjuku jansou. The jansou is his house, and the auto table is his bread and butter.


Outside of mahjong, 鳥星雨 is avid fan of the 東方Project series of games, and the 同人 arrangements of its music. He also loves reading 咲-Saki- and wishes Ritz would release chapters more frequently. He spends way too much money on music CDs and plane tickets, at great cost to his wallet. One day he hopes to play with his two favorite pros, 二階戸亜紀 and 魚谷佑美.
