Miekazu and me talked a lot, and I learned many things about how the KOFXI scene in Japan had developed.<br>

Miekazu started playing KOF with 97 and 98. He had a side job during that time and mostly played in small game centers, all by himself, but eventually stopped. At around 2001, he started playing again, and eventually a good friend of his won the famous "duelling the KOF" tournament for KOF2002. It was through him that Miekazu was able to level up his gameplay and become more serious. He started playing XI when it released, but it wasn't until 2011 that things got more interesting. That was the year that Sawakoro contacted him and "reactivated" him. During that time, Sawakoro still lived in Osaka, and already played with U-rasia and Nori. Miekazu was able to win a tournament in 2012, the same tournament that was won in 2011 by U-rasia. This greatly motivated him and gave him confidence that the players from Mie prefecture (close to Nagoya, where Miekazu lives, hence the name) can keep up with all the other strong players. Miekazu's team around that time was Kula/Kim/Oswald(L). He then tried out K' after seeing how strong U-rasia's K' was, and realized how much fun the character is, eventually switching him in for Kim. He also picked up Vanessa, mainly because she was his main character in KOF2002, but also because Toru (no. 1 Vanessa Leader player) taught him how to use her.<br>

Miekazu also told a bit about how the atmosphere was in he beginning, when everybody had to get to know each other still - TSR, Miekazu, Toru and Arthur (asa-p) played together on release, and didn't talk much with each other at first, but they all became friends once Miekazu organized a tournament to promote the game. Shingo on the other hand was a 98 player during that time, and only picked up XI a little later. He was incredibly fast in learning the game due to his strong 98 fundamentals and was at top level within one month.
