Nineteen has been in Japan for 15 years and serves as the team leader of AOJ (Airsoft Online Japan).

Nineteen was first introduced to Airsoft in 2013 by his wife who thought he'd enjoy it. After attending many indoor fields in Tokyo such as Asobiba and Bravepoint , Nineteen took a sabbatical for several years.

Nineteen resumed his passion for Airsoft in 2022 after a close friend invited him to a chartered airsoft game. While Nineteen was diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder (mild depression and sickness due to changes in season), UV-sensitive syndrome (intolerance to sunlight and ultraviolet light), and high-functioning autism, he hasn't let it hold him back and strives to do better both in game and in life. Because of his health issues, Nineteen generally does not play during summer and avoids going out, so he tends to take a sabbatical from July to September.

Nineteen attended several games in a closed airsoft group and hosted a few while the group owner was taking a sabbatical and while other admins were not actively participating in any group activities. However, after problems with the group owner's attitude and behaviour, Nineteen decided to leave the group and focus more on playing with his close friends. Wanting more engagement and activity in Airsoft and to build a new and open community, introducing not only Airsoft, but other outdoor activities to both foreign and Japanese players, Nineteen, along with his close friends, started Airsoft Online Japan (AOJ), as a means to unite players without language barriers and expand an already small and distant community.

This homepage was made adding features such as field lists, shop lists, information, a forum, a sales platform, events pages and booking pages as well as collaborating with airsoft influencers, fields and other airsoft groups to take Airsoft in Japan to a new level. This also means making a platform of which will not be hindered by social media rules against airsoft.

Bakudan Mk1 (Defusable Bomb made by Nineteen)

Since the successful establishment of AOJ, Nineteen has been working on making aspects of games and events stand out. So far he is making several defusable bombs from scratch out of Arduino motherboards and Raspberry Pi boards, as well as several props to use in games.

Some of the devices he has made include 2 types of prop bombs, Domination timers, code breakers, player counters, game timers and more.
