He was one of the first friends I made off of Youtube and has always been a stand up guy. His Japan Youtube channel is more based around DIY projects for his house and just easy living (though he hasn't uploaded in a long time). Todd's appeal is being a very based dude who gives it to you straight about working with Japanese society to get what you want when moving countries in your 40's..
