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 home, and the auto-table is his bread and butter.
