Jimmy Hapa

The creator of Import Gaming FTW!, a video series on YouTube which is all about great Japanese games...that never left the land of the rising sun! Or at the very least, never secured a release in North America. Mr. Hapa's love of import gaming began in 1998, when he modified his PlayStation One to play Japanese games. He currently resides in Hawaii, where he also grew up, but spent several years in Japan, during which time he regrets focusing most of his gaming energy on the Xbox 360.
