Jonathan Oyama
Community Writer

http://jjoyama
I'm Jonathan Oyama, a 27-year-old freelancer. I have written for Bitmob for two years, before it turned into the GamesBeat. I specialize in playing Japanese role-playing games. I have played tons of them, old and new. My favorite is still Persona 4. I also wrote community news for the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot and the Hermosa Beach branch of Patch.com .
