Arakaki was born and raised on military bases around the world in such strange and eclectic places like Japan... and er... Georgia... and well... California, but currently resides in the country of Texas. Arakaki is also a professional screenwriter with movies and a TV series that have featured megastars like Amy Smart, C. Thomas Howell, Mya, and Lance Henriksen (I know, I know - your mind is blown) and can often be found eating something on a stick. Arakaki has 10 freshwater babies named Mephistopheles, Camazotz, Gary, Twiki, Dr. Theopolis, Gary II, Karen the Wise, DJ Qwon, Beatrix, and The Fin Master.
