Cruz’s interest in anime started at a young age, with the late-night Cartoon Network block Toonami.  While a fan of shonen anime, his interests expand to seinen action series like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and Neon Genesis Evangelion, romantic comedies like Rent-a-Girlfriend  and My Dress-Up Darling,  and horror titles like Mononoke  and Devilman Crybaby,  although you can convince him to watch anything if you pitch him on the waifus first.

Cruz also operates as an artist under the name @doublecrxss, where he draws comics and illustrations, some used for Nakama merchandise!
