User:Maiyuri Tsura

Linguaphilic and melophilic, I'm a developing polyglot whose fascination of Asian languages — notably, Japanese and Thai — as well as signed languages — ASL and JSL, among others — has inspired me to take up the pen (or, rather, the keyboard) and contribute to Wikipedia articles. My passion for language learning brought me recently to the Japanese Wikipedia, specifically articles that English counterparts lack sufficient detail on, so part of my main goal as a Wikipedia contributor is to make more mainstream such information for English readers.

I decided on Maiyuri Tsura (面マイユリ) as my username because it represents an original character I created, one whose name I would want to adopt if I ever decided to change my name. The surname Tsura (面) means face, and used in the compound 仮面 (mask), it highlights how this character masks its creator, in a sense.

Aside from Wikipedia articles, I also write original poetry, translate songs, and showcase artwork on my blog PseudoPen611, and I am an avid writer on Quora.
