About Jack Jaegar
Based in Tokyo, Jack has been writing about Japanese pop culture for eight years now. He is also a gamer, hiker, wannabe barista, and proud herbivore. His passion is bringing news straight from Japan to you, in English, keeping the otaku world accessible for everyone. He lives with his two rescued street cats, Nezuko and Chachamaru. Jack has lived in Japan for ten years, three in a small city and seven in downtown Tokyo. He writes part time for GameZXC, mostly anime-related news stories covering events, products, premiers, cafes, and more in Japan, and works full time in curriculum development and training. When he's not working, Jack is playing PlayStation 5, working on his sci-fi novel at a cafe, or planning his next backpacking trip. He also gets tattooed on a pretty regular basis, and recently has taken up bouldering. Follow him on Instagram and send a message if you like his work!
