User:Mikoshi

Mikoshi is the current username of California resident Michael Manos.

Characteristics
The The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the personality of Mikoshi: "His corny sense of humor has made him a friend to many, however keeps him from achieving jock-level popularity status. This personality also has the benifit of not wanting jock-level popularity". His quick puns and inferences take an intelligent mind to understand at times, and at other times take the mind of a three year-old to find comical. The best way to think all that comes from his mouth funny is to stay up till 3:00 in the morning and play Super Smash Bros. with Jigglypuffs.

Hobbies
Mikoshi does not have many hobbies, mainly because he is content as he is. In his free time, Mikoshi listens to a wide variety of music and plays card games on his computer. He also runs a forum and enjoys writing poetry.

Name Origin
In 2000, Michael became friends with a webmaster who enjoyed role-playing as a Yoshi. The webmaster, named David, invited Michael to join their role-playing forum. Michael, unsure of what to name himself, asked David where he came up with his username, Davoshi. David told him it was formed by forming a portmanteau from David and Yoshi. Using the same procedure, Michael invented Mikoshi (Mike + Yoshi). Although Michael never actually role-played, he used the name for two years.

In 2004, Michael, then under the username OnionFenix, was searching for a username that could double as a character name in stories he planned to write. He spent three months playing with different naming methods and names, but could not find a moniker he liked. Eventually, he remembered his old username and found it fit to use.
