About Me: I am a graduate student living in the Southeastern United States, earning my Masters and eventually a PhD. I was born in 1985. I am male.

About My Pen Name: Samebito is a Japanese mythological character. I chose the name for several specific reasons (no I'm not going to share all of them). I chose Ryu because I think it sounds cool (and it needed a given name).

Interests: I am a Christian, and do all I can to live a Christian lifestyle. I love a good story, as long as it doesn't become terribly explicit. I think I have a sense of humor, and I like to laugh.
