Profile and Career
A powerful young player from Taiwan.
He specializes in a flawless playing style that primarily relies on left-side transition GTR, incorporating a strong midgame into highly efficient chain builds. While an all-rounder, he has characteristics that have been described as "somewhat unique," with a focus on the main chain with high saturated power, and a high level of midgame awareness and technique. His strengths include effective use of midgame thorns(ibara) and 2-double and 3-double stances, as well as excellent judgment and transitions to fire the main chain.
Influenced by his father, he started playing "Puyo Puyo" (Chinese name: "魔法氣泡"（Magic Bubble）).
In March 2022, he participated in the "1st U12 Puyo Puyo International Championship." He was 10 years old at the time, and everyone except him was a Japanese elementary school student. He put up a good fight, finishing in 6th place with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses, including a close 6-7 match against Punichan (who won with a 9-0 record).
In December 2022, he placed third at the "BeePro Cup 2022" held in Taipei, Taiwan, garnering attention as a strong Taiwanese elementary school player (the winner was Acliv).

In August 2025, he participated in the Top-Class International League, a competition of six top international players, as part of the 2nd New Oiu League hosted by Piponeer. He won all of his matches and took the championship.
Also in August of the same year, he participated in the official SEGA tournament, "Puyo Puyo Global Ranking Series SEGA Official Tournament 2 (Other Region)". In the previous tournament, he lost to Villain.R of Korea in the first match of the final tournament, but this time he defeated Tonney7 of the United States 5-0 and then Koopary of the United States 5-2 to advance to the semifinals. In the best-of-10 semifinals, he faced Angel of Diamond, one of the top four players from France. He was pushed back by his opponent's fast attacks in the early stages, but gradually responded, and after a fierce melee at 6-7, he calmly dug and caught up, winning 10-7. He advanced to the finals. In the final against Void of Brazil, he took four consecutive wins in the middle of the game to build a lead, ultimately winning 10-6. This was his first official tournament victory, and he became the youngest player (13 years old) to win a PGRS tournament.
