| Lord Noda

I grew up in Naka City—a made‑up slice of Australia named after the red dragon tile—and fell in love with every game that brings people to the same table.

These days I run a small riichi mahjong parlour where the tiles clack, the curry simmers, and strategy makes sense even if it’s your first hand.

I’m a teacher who loves breaking down the basics, a host who serves up comforting plates, and a dad who’s training his daughter to read the wall and play with confidence.

Away from the parlour, I unwind with fighting games and card nights.

It’s all the same joy to me—good games, good food, and a room where everyone feels at home.
