Devon Lord Moncrief
Devon Lord-Moncrief lives in the US, but he absolutely loved Japan when he visited for a month. Traveling from Tokyo to Osaka to Kyoto and back to Tokyo, Devon loved every restaurant he ate at, every shrine he visited, and every awesome retro game store he discovered. Devon may live in the US, but his heart stayed behind in Yokohama, watching the sun set across Osanbashi Pier. At home, Devon can be found playing games, watching anime, and working out.
