Even in a world inundated with technology and entertainment products, Tatsu Nakamura has always kept himself grounded in sports, competition, and physical activity. As a young man bouncing between two worlds, spending most of the year in Seattle and joining his family in going back to their other home in Yokohama during holidays, Nakamura found it easiest to rely on sports to connect with people. As a young child this focus began with various martial arts, but especially with kendo. Even when he was in the US he still spent a great deal of the time during the football offseason training and building his skills. Now having moved to Southern California, Senpai Nakamura plans to teach and compete at his local dojo once the NSFL season ends. Nakamura has two more hobbies that are a big part of his life: cooking and tabletop games. He spent a great deal of time with his mother growing up, learning all about traditional Japanese cooking. Nakamura has continued to cook for himself, helping him maintain peak condition and perfect control over his diet. At the University of Washington and again at both Portland and Orange County, Nakamura has always had a tradition of inviting all of the team's offensive lineman for a rich dinner of ramen, sushi, curry, or any number of other dishes on Victory Mondays. Nakamura has also greatly enjoyed taking his competitive, focused, and creative mind and applying it to tabletop games and TTRPGs. He spent a portion of his signing bonus on his rookie deal to open up a luxurious board game bar and cafe in Orange County, where he frequently joins friends to drink and play games during his free time.
