He studied at Jouchi Daigaku in Tokyo for one term back in '03, and completed his MA at the School of Oriental & African Studies (U of London), writing on 17th century relations between the shogunate and Southeast Asian authorities. He then lived in [[Yokohama]] for a year, devoting the vast majority of his waking hours to improving his Japanese language skills. He is now back home in NY, working for the Japan Society and preparing for a return to grad school in the fall, this time at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

He has been really active on Wikipedia for several years, and will likely continue to be, to the chagrin of the Shogun. (Moushiwake nai, ne.) Please do feel free to check out his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LordAmeth user page] over there.
He was really active on Wikipedia for several years, much to the chagrin of the Shogun, but it has now been quite some time since he has done any major contributions over there.

He first became active on Samurai Archives in June 2007, though he took quite some time off from it, returning in February 2009. He is not sure how active he will be, however.

I am working especially on the Timeline year pages, primarily just because those are some of the quickest and easiest things to do, tossing names and dates in there as they come up in my class readings. This provides links for articles to be created, helping us know what is missing and giving us somewhere to start.
As a student of East Asian Studies, though my interest is very much in Japan, I take courses on China as well, and so will be adding articles, or at least links (e.g. on the year pages) for major Chinese figures and topics, significant enough to have relevance to Japanese topics. I realize this means the project is beginning to extend beyond its scope before the core is anywhere near complete. But, I hope it is not too much of a problem. Yoroshiku, ne.
