Here’s a bit of trivia about The Beast

From Kotaku:

*Daigo Umehara could very well be the greatest Street Fighter player on this spinning blue orb we call “Earth”. There must be more to the man than that. There is.

In an interview with Japan’s Sankei newspaper, Daigo talks about signing autographs and his English-language nickname, “The Beast”. Besides the money he earns from tournaments, the paper asks what Daigo does for livelihood.

“I work in a nursing home,” he replies. At most, he says he’s been working about five days a week. “Both of my parents work in the medical field, so there wasn’t any resistance to taking care of the elderly.”

Not only can Daigo wipe the floor with just about anyone in Street Fighter, he also helps the elderly during the week.

The Beast? More like The Nice Person.

The OP’s name and the person he’s talking about seem to be a common theme these days…

Hey man, I picked this name out back in the tekken 3 days when one word noun screen names were all the rage. I’m one of the old geezers on this board and like all old men I refuse to change.
