He is a kindhearted magic user. Half Japanese and half Irish and, he initially joined the Japanese server to be more close to his mother&#039;s culture (from the AI Buster 2 manga). He is American, but visits the Japanese server where the others play, because he felt it was one of the best ways to learn the Japanese language. Shugo thinks he is a girl, but he is a boy in real life (shown in .Hack//Legend of the twilight offline meeting). On his first visit, he met Sanjuro, who taught him about his name, and became his friend. He is often confusing words or using common Japanese phrases, and sometimes adding unneeded &quot;-desu&quot; to his words. He loves all animals, which can sometimes be a problem for his party members (He just cannot attack the monsters). He nurses a Grunty back to health with the help of Shugo, and keeps it as a pet. Later named Puchiguso-san (in the anime), he normally is found hanging off of his cap. His class type is Wavemaster; his avatar is similar to Elk (.hack game series).[1]   

Winning the legendary characters “Kite” and “Black Rose” from an event held by the creators of the MMORPG ‘The World,’ Shugo and his twin sister Rena steps into ‘The World’. Together they completed events and quests, along with their new friends Ouka, Mirelle, Hotaru and Sanjuro. Soon after, mysterious monsters appeared, and death by these monsters caused players to slip into a coma in the real world. Only Shugo and Rena can solve this problem, but why are they being targeted, and what secrets is the game hiding?

It's a short story about the characters from .hack// Legend of the Twilight meeting offline. It's more to hear than to see. It shows only backgrounds from the real world with the heads of the charater-game-avatars; but it reveals some interesting real life informations about the characters.
