ABOUT

In 2016, Hoshikuzu set out to bring larp to Japan and founded the experiential larp promotion association CLOSS. He’s also the head of the Laymun larp circle in Iruma, Saitama. Together with his partner-in-crime, staff member Mochizuki Hinasaki, he has co-written many of the first Japanese larp rulebooks. Known for his calmness, he’s a master at organizing chaos and turning it into elegant, balanced game systems. As the rulebook guy, he handles the mechanics and balance well and has guided many new larpers into the hobby. For almost a decade now, he’s been charging ahead at the frontlines of Japanese larp.
