Additional Information I am a guy who's been going with the flow in life for many years, and it is only in recent years that I think I have found what I am after. After a few years working as an Assistant Language Teacher of English, I am now working as an office worker for a company in Japan. While I have JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N2 certification (advanced/business level Japanese ability), I want to go all the way to achieve N1 (near-native level Japanese ability).
Back in 1999, I had created an Evangelion fansite, Enter the MAGI, to showcase my interest in the series Neon Genesis Evangelion at that time. While it did see some popularity among friends and acquaintances, it would only be two years later that I would move on to something bigger, before coming full circle and creating another Evangelion fansite 20 years later. Yeah, I'm not exactly a young man these days.
Originally, I intended to use this site as part of a portfolio to showcase for a potential career in web design, but that plan went pear-shaped years ago. These days the maintaining of this site (and my other sites) remains one of my hobbies, despite not updating the site frequently. Eventually I would like to work on other web sites to showcase my web design skills (or even develop a new layout for this site) - even if they are terribly outdated in this day and age.
Lastly, the name Toji came from my favourite Evangelion character when I first started getting in to anime - Toji Suzuhara. While I'm not as passionate about Evangelion compared to my much younger self, I continued with the name out of nostalgia. That, and the fact that it makes up half of this website's name.
