Wondering who's doing all this work to bring you manga? Want to comment on our hard (or lack of) work but don't know who to talk to or how to contact them? Have suggestions? Want to talk about stuff? Want me to stop asking all these questions? If so, then you can find out a bit more about us here at TJO here...we won't give out vital information to encourage stalkers, but those of us who aren't shy will share something to cure your curiosity (ooh, alliteration! ^^")

If you have have any questions or comments in general concerning TJO, you can contact the staff at tsuzukujinsei@yahoo.ca, or drop a line at the forum.

ezrameifa -- Kagetora (TSE), Tenka Musou (TSE), Evangel (TSE), Genjuu no Seiza (TE), Vampire Juuji Kai (TSE)
Out in the irc channel, ezra had been showing us his scanslation of a manga he really likes, hoping that a group will pick it up for translation. Well, ezra got his wish and now he's translating that manga, Kagetora, at TJO! ^_^

Levi -- Photon (T)
Hailing from way up North in Finland, several people pounced on Levi when we found out he was a translator ^^". While TJo isn't the only group to enlist him, we're very glad to have his talents. ^_^ Very friendly and enjoys a challenge (moreso than most other translators here ^^"), levi often posts in our Japanese section in the forum, and can occasionally be spotted in our channel.

Resshin -- Chikyuu Misaki (E), Watashi no Ookami-san (E) [occasionally]
"Resshin is 16-years-old and he currently lives in Greece. That's all... complete at your own discretion... (I love this word XD)" is all he had to say. ^^" So, at our own discretion (=P), we'll disclose that Resshin is currently our youngest staff member (a whole 10 years younger than Taru, our oldest member ^^"). He is very ambitious and a wonderful editor as well. He's easy to get along with and has been a fan of TJo for quite a while. Resshin is currently attending classes in prepration for university and apparently doesn't get along well with his English teacher.

Ratti -- Naked (E), Kagetora (E)
Ratti, the 17 year-old lightening-fast editor, hails from Germany, and is our latest staff aquisition. He's very friendly and socialable and pops into the channel and forum occasionally, so say hi!

SvSTaru -- site host; QC
Without this 26-year-old (March 10, 1978) biology student, chances are you wouldn't be getting TJO's manga as easily. Why? 'cause Taru is the one who was kind enough to host all of our files and pages so you can see everything you're staring at now. When Taru isn't studying or posting, he's usually busying himself by watching anime, or reading manga or books. He loves sci-fi and fantasy, and plays many different RPGs. Yep. Taru rocks.

Saburoumaru -- Chikyuu Misaki (T)
Sabu is our Chikyuu Misaki translator. He hasn't gotten around to making a profile, so there's not much to see here ^^U.

Mugen -- Mamotte! Lollipop (E)
Mugen's workign on his picture~. But he did provide us with these tidbits about himself: He's close to being in uni, and is going to move for that *yay.* He just loves basketball and punk (the music <.<), and editing too, of course! He has greenish-brown eyes and recently got glasses. XD He says they make him feel very smart~

??? -- Watashi no Ookami-san (E)
The mystery editor has come and gone... Will they ever return? Only they shall know, but if they do, they will be welcomed.

BurgundyTears -- ËDENs BOwY (E)
ËB and m4st3r editor! Everybody give Burgy a big round of applause, 'cause she does such a great job, no? Burgy's a master of Photoshop (and loves editing to boot), so you can be sure to see nice, clean edits all the time! Burgy's other interests include sleep, food, and bishies. She loves to get mail, so drop her a line at burgundytears@gmail.com.

Chileno-san -- Akkan Baby (E)
Chileno's probably out most eager editor at TJO. O.O he edited Akkan without sleep! We had to beg him to rest! Now that's dedicated! XD~ Chile hopes to do his very best for TJO, and loves his Akkan with a passion ^_^

Cosmos -- Photon (E), Twin Signal (E)
Cosmos loves Photon, and gladly agreed to be the permanent editor. She also runs one of our affilate sites, Watase's Sorai, which is dedicated to Yuu Watase's works. She delights in long walks along moon-lit beaches, and while shy, is very friendly and an enjoyable person to be with. That's probably why she's already engaged. Sorry guys.

Sekihoutai -- Orfina (T), Sirius no Kizuato (TE), Shion no Ou (T)
We stole snagged Seki-kun from SnoopyCool.com to help us churn out more manga. He's currently translating Orfina for us. He enjoys hanging around the forum, so help relieve him of his boredom! XD Thanks again, Seki-kun!

Uroboros -- Dear (E)
Yay for our lovely Dear editor, Uro~ She hasn't given me a profile of her own right now, so um, she's really cool, lots of fun,and a very good editor! XD

Sinbios -- Shikotama (E)
What the thing said about Sin being a seasoned editor is a lie. Sin's really a translator at heart and will always be a translator at heart, though she strives to bring you the best, most high quality edits possible. Sin also runs Manga-Mania (http://m-mania.cjb.net), so come visit her when you have time!

-- In quality we trust

Kates -- Kagetora (T)
Kates is the newest translator to the TJO team, also 'borrowed' from SnoopyCool, where she originally found 'work' ("Kekkaishi" is her pet-project). Her orignal TJO project was promptly licensed after she finished translating chapter 2. T_T Far be it from a scanlation group to let a translator sit around, right? So the "Kagetora" torch has been passed to Kates. She holds it high and proud for you fans, and will do her best to translate it well! (Give her some slack, though... she's still learning!) Kates spent a year teaching English in Japan to poor, impressionable students. It was a blast. Literally. (HA! Take THAT, Japan!) Kates can be found floating around the SnoopyCool and TJO forums and IRC channels, and likes her new friends immensely. :D Come say "hi"--she's rather friendly.

Myth -- QC; Recruiter; IRC distro
Myth is the very willing (and very happy) guinea pig here at TJO. How so? Well, he's volunteered to do the arduous task of checking each new chapter release for quality and entertainment. If he's not satisfied (like he ever is... "I want to read the next chapter!"), too bad for him 'cause so long as Tsuki and Burgy like what they see, it's going up. He also doubles as motivation to keep Tsuki working (see above quote) ^^". Myth also helps to run the irc channel and arrange our irc distribution, and occasionally has been said to covet the position of "intern" of TJO.
<.< >.> And no, he still hasn't proposed to Tsuki yet... stop pushing...

Okamikyodai -- Twin Signal (T)
Oka writes: "I like cheeseburgers... long walks on the beach... candle lit pizza dinner on the living room fur rug.... It's Di Giorno. No, wait, don't include that stuff, use this: I'm 24. I attended Ebino Kogen International College for 10 months from 98-99, studied the Japanese language overseas by benefit of the Nissho Gakuen Group. I like to be fed. Arf. My dislikes? I dislike stupid people. Rephrase; I dislike people who assume things without full thought or comprehension of the topic of which they are trying to impress upon another. Especially if it's about how good one detergent is than another. I love to drive and listen to music. My favorite mangas are.. Full Metal Alchemist and Black Cat. My current projects are... Lucu Lucu (SnoopyCool.com) and Twin Signal, and my finished projects are Melody of Oblivion Anime Fansub episodes 1 for Anime_source, 2-3 for AYU."

Saru -- Watashi no Ookami-san (T)
If one word were to be used to describe Saru, that word might be: mysterious. While an active and social member of TJo, Saru is shy when talking about herself, but we've dug up something to share! Saru is of Japanese descent, but was born and raised in the USA, and currently resides in Texas. Despite her name, she is not a monkey (at least, so far she hasn't shown any signs of being an actual monkey...) and likes strawberry limeade. Saru also works as a translator for MangaCity, and likes Ume, the dog from Watashi no Ookami-san.

LockeCole -- ËDENs BOwY (S), Orfina (S), Photon (S)
Lazy college student and one of our main scanners. That's all he has to say. (Comment from Tsuki: Props to Locke! We wouldn't have Orfina otherwise. XD)

RampagingEva -- Orfina (E)
Ramp's got amazing editing talents and has taken over Seki's editing position on Orfina so Seki has less to worry about. Check out that color 2-page spread in chapter 1!

Stussi -- Naked (E)
Stussi was our original Naked editor, but duty calls, and Stussi is currently serving for the Swiss Army. He put his greatest effort into his work, and we here at TJO will always welcome Stussi as staff when he returns, even if he chooses not to edit anymore ^^". We wish you the best of luck Stussi! Ganbare!

TsukiGoKim -- Akkan Baby (TS), ËDENs BOwY (T), Naked (TS), Shikotama (S), Twin Signal (S), Watashi no Ookami-san (S), Genjuu no Seiza (S), Vampire Juuji Kai (S), Mamotte! Lollipop (TSE)
Whee~ After 2 years, Tsuki's doing more scanning than translating nowadays.... ^^" But that doesn't mean she's slowing down! She plans on releasing more manga in the upcoming year, and is hoping to meet her goal of 100 scanslated chapters by next year (current count: 41). Age 21 and giving it her all, blenderboys still hasn't revived, and her other site is hanging in there.... kinda. Her goal still is to translate manga as a living (as well as teach English in Japan), so Tsuki's giving her translations at TJo all she's got. ^-^ E-mail her your comments at kanna_endou@yahoo.com, 'cause fanmail is always encouraging!
