Gadget Tsuushin: Do you like your first and last names?



MCZ|Daigo: My last name is pretty ordinary, but I quite like my first name.



Gadget Tsuushin: Has there ever been anything that has taken you an entire day to do?



MCZ|Daigo: Writing an English journal.



Gadget Tsuushin: Recently what are you into?



MCZ|Daigo: The Game of Thrones TV drama. A lot of people have recommended it, and I subscribed to a paid cable channel just to watch it.



Gadget Tsuushin: What vehicle do you enjoy riding in?



MCZ|Daigo: The Shinkansen.



Gadget Tsuushin: Antonio Inoki and Giant Baba. Who do you like more? (TL note: both are pro wrestlers in Japan)



MCZ|Daigo: Inoki.



Gadget Tsuushin: Between a zoo and an aquarium, which do you prefer?



MCZ|Daigo: Zoo.



Gadget Tsuushin: Are you a dog person? Or a cat person?



MCZ|Daigo: Dog person.



Gadget Tsuushin: Can you run fast?



MCZ|Daigo: I don't know about these days, but I used to be pretty fast.



Gadget Tsuushin: If you were to bring only one item to a deserted island, what would it be?



MCZ|Daigo: A portable cooking stove that I could use.



Gadget Tsuushin: Is your luck in lotteries good?



MCZ|Daigo: When it comes to tournaments, my luck is usually not that bad. But if we're talking about bingo tournaments, then I don't recall ever winning one.



Gadget Tsuushin: What is the one thing that you've been using for the longest amount of time?



MCZ|Daigo: Probably my bicycle (for 2 to 3 years).



Gadget Tsuushin: While bathing, what is the order in which you wash your body?



MCZ|Daigo: I start from my head, followed by my left shoulder.



Gadget Tsuushin: How often do you go back to your parents' place?



MCZ|Daigo: Once every two months.



Gadget Tsuushin: At home, what is the one place that puts you most at ease?



MCZ|Daigo: The kitchen. I like that the area is just nice for one person (myself).



Gadget Tsuushin: Do you use a kitchen knife?



MCZ|Daigo: Yes, I do.



Gadget Tsuushin: What is the best thing you can cook?



MCZ|Daigo: Pasta.



Gadget Tsuushin: How about your favorite food?



MCZ|Daigo: Noodles.



Gadget Tsuushin: What's your favourite drink, alcoholic or otherwise?



MCZ|Daigo: Iced coffee, beer.



Gadget Tsuushin: Are you a rice person, or a noodles bread person?



(Edit: There was a typo here. We previously wrote "noodles" where it should have been "bread". Sorry sarif2soon, unfortunately MCZ|Daigo did not break out a legendary 50/50 option select here in the manner you thought he did.)



MCZ|Daigo: Rice person. Mostly rice. I don't even mind never ever eating bread.



Gadget Tsuushin: What is the one dish that you can eat multiple bowls of rice with?



MCZ|Daigo: As long as it's something with a delicious sauce, anything will do.



Gadget Tsuushin: Do you eat that dish by first pounding it into the rice (and eating it with the rice in a single mouthful, as opposed to eating the dish and rice in separate mouthfuls)?



MCZ|Daigo: Probably with rice, yes.



Gadget Tsuushin: And afterwards, what do you wash down your meal with? A bowl of soba or udon (in soup)? (TL note: I'm not too sure about this part; it's a food culture thing)



MCZ|Daigo: Soba.



Gadget Tsuushin: Reason for that?



MCZ|Daigo: In my mind I have this image that soba is just better to wash down a meal with. Besides, after that I'd usually be drinking, so it doesn't really matter.



Gadget Tsuushin: When eating a taiyaki pancake, which part do you bite off first? The fish head or tail?



MCZ|Daigo: Tail.



Gadget Tsuushin: When eating karaage fried chicken, are you okay with adding lemon juice to it?



MCZ|Daigo: That's absolutely fine.



Gadget Tsuushin: What do you condition your sunny-side-up eggs with?



MCZ|Daigo: Salt.



Gadget Tsuushin: What about half-boiled eggs?



MCZ|Daigo: Salt.



Gadget Tsuushin: If you could only pick one flavour of potato chips, what would it be?



MCZ|Daigo: I like consomme flavour the best. But if we were talking about picking a flavour that I could eat forever with, naturally it has to be salt (original).



Gadget Tsuushin: Between growing a farm for bamboo shoots or mushrooms...



MCZ|Daigo: Bamboo shoots.



Gadget Tsuushin: What's your favourite family restaurant/diner?



MCZ|Daigo: If I have to decide on one place that I can only go to for the rest of my life, then it has to be Denny's.



Gadget Tsuushin: What's your favourite beef rice bowl chain?



MCZ|Daigo: Nakau



Gadget Tsuushin: Favourite manga?



MCZ|Daigo: I don't know for sure since I like a lot of manga, but I suppose it's probably "Ganbare Genki".



Gadget Tsuushin: Who's your favourite character in "Baki the Grappler"?



MCZ|Daigo: Normally it'd be Yujiro Hanma. Outside of that, Ron Shun Bun.



Gadget Tsuushin: Which part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is your favorite?



MCZ|Daigo: Part 4.



Gadget Tsuushin: Who is your favourite JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?



MCZ|Daigo: Narciso Annasui.



Gadget Tsuushin: What [is it] about Annasui that you like?



MCZ|Daigo: I like his catchphrases. Also I like that he's the lover of a main character, which is quite rare in the JoJo series.



Gadget Tsuushin: What's your favorite stand? What about the stand would you personally want?



MCZ|Daigo: If we were to put aside the stands that can stop time, then it'd be Tonio Trussardi's culinary stand (cook dishes that can heal any condition or disease).



Gadget Tsuushin: If you didn't become a pro gamer, what would you be working as?



MCZ|Daigo: If you mean in the sense that I never got into gaming, then I get the feeling that I'd probably be competing in some kind of 1 vs. 1 contest.



Gadget Tsuushin: Such as tennis?



MCZ|Daigo: I didn't mention this fast enough, but I think I wouldn't do so well in ball games. I'd prefer something where winning and losing could be more clear-cut, like boxing.



Gadget Tsuushin: For the rest of your life, if you could only pick to be a fisherman or a farmer, which would you become?



MCZ|Daigo: For the rest of my life? If it's for life, then probably farmer.



Gadget Tsuushin: But do you feel like it'd be fun to be a fisherman too?



MCZ|Daigo: Probably to a certain extent, yes. I think the first few years as a fisherman would be fun, but eventually it'd get tiring. Compared to that, being able to research new ways to grow great-tasting vegetables, there's just a lot more to explore.



Gadget Tsuushin: What's your favorite color?



MCZ|Daigo: I think it's probably brown. If it were a color that I would coordinate my home, vehicle, and clothes in, it would have to be brown.



Gadget Tsuushin: In games, do you look for characters who appear in brown?



MCZ|Daigo: I do.



Gadget Tsuushin: If you were a Power Ranger, which colored ranger would you be?



MCZ|Daigo: Well, rather than worry about the color... I'd hate to be in a supporting position like that, beating the villains just because I'm the good guy. I'd rather be the sort of character who doesn't appear in all of the episodes, but when he does appear, it's a strong role. If we were to relate this in terms of Saint Seiya, it'd be like the character Ikki.



Gadget Tsuushin: Do you know anything about the Gundam universe?



MCZ|Daigo: Only that Amuro is amazing, and that Char is his rival.



Gadget Tsuushin: Between a giant hamper and a small one, which would you prefer?



MCZ|Daigo: The smaller one, since it wouldn't get my hopes up from the beginning.



Gadget Tsuushin: If you were to visit a whole ton of regions in Japan, which accent do you think you'd enjoy the most?



MCZ|Daigo: The Kyoto accent.



Gadget Tsuushin: Favorite actress?



MCZ|Daigo: I like people with big mouths. But if we were talking about favorite actress in terms of the works they appeared in that I enjoyed, then it's Mikako Tabe.



Gadget Tsuushin: Between a beauty who has a terrible personality, and a woman with the nicest personality but bad looks, which would you prefer to go out with?



MCZ|Daigo: Neither, since in both cases there are extremes that I dislike.



Gadget Tsuushin: If you had a girlfriend who'd take time away from the amount you spend on fighting games, how would you think about fighting games?



MCZ|Daigo: The merit here is that it's not simply just work.



Gadget Tsuushin: If you had 100 points total to pump into health, attack, defense, intelligence and luck, how would you do so?



MCZ|Daigo: That's a pretty tough question... health 50, attack 5, defense 5, intelligence 10, luck 30.



Gadget Tsuushin: Because no matter what it is you do, you need luck?



MCZ|Daigo: I don't really know for sure, but I get the feeling I'd be a character like that.



Gadget Tsuushin: If you were to become the manager of an arcade, what game would you bring in?



MCZ|Daigo: Old puzzle games that the people who are really good at it could play forever.



Gadget Tsuushin: What games have you cleared in arcades?



MCZ|Daigo: Outside of fighting games? Tetris Grand Master.



Gadget Tsuushin: Which Tetris block do you like best?



MCZ|Daigo: The reverse L.



Gadget Tsuushin: Which is your favourite job in Dragon Quest?



MCZ|Daigo: That's difficult, because now that I'm this age, I'd base such decisions on what a party needs. As you pretty much can't win with any party build that doesn't have a Warrior, I'd say the Warrior.



Gadget Tsuushin: Well, what about the job class you liked when you were a kid?



MCZ|Daigo: If we're talking about Dragon Quest 3, then that'd be the Sage.



Gadget Tsuushin: What about your favourite job class in Final Fantasy?



MCZ|Daigo: Samurai, Mimic.



Gadget Tsuushin: Any particular RPGs that you liked?



MCZ|Daigo: If you meant in terms of RPGs I played for a long time with, then that'd be Elminage. But if we were talking about favorite RPGs in terms of storylines I liked, then the list would be endless.



Gadget Tsuushin: Outside of fighting games, what other games have you briefly played recently?



MCZ|Daigo: Dark Souls 2, Grand Theft Auto 5.



Gadget Tsuushin: How do you play in Grand Theft Auto 5?



MCZ|Daigo: Apart from senior citizens and kids, I'd pull in every other character and assault them.



Gadget Tsuushin: If you were to pick one from a list of SNK characters, who would it be?



MCZ|Daigo: Billy or Geese.



Gadget Tsuushin: Finally, between the nicknames DAIGO, The Beast, and Umehara, which are you most happy to be called by?



MCZ|Daigo: Ume-chan.
