Profile
"Right now Achai Gang leader Tanoshiba’s target is to turn all people on Earth into dog people. Please help!"

- Tanoshiba

Previously, Tanoshiba believed that it was a pleasure to work for the Canine Gang. Following his heart’s desires, he went disco dancing at the dance hall with his good bros free of charge, when he woke up from dreaming he could hear the wildest and most passionate music, with just the smallest gesture he could acquire paid-for things that other people couldn’t get. This kind of life was quite beautiful, yet in clear contrast with his figure wasting away day by day. Thus on a certain day after looking in the mirror he became aware that working for others is not as good as working for yourself.

Tanoshiba, who painfully comprehended this, began to secretively set out to establish his own power. He led his own faction named the Achai Gang, but slow expansion rate made him worry his social background was too weak and he would be bound to struggle and face defeat against the Canine Gang. He felt deeply that to only rely on himself would be very difficult to overthrow the corrupt, degraded Canine Gang in a short period of time.

Now he urgently needs manpower, and cooperating with VirtuaReal is just one of his methods… although according to the response of his trusted associates, he seems to be completely enjoying it. After repeatedly undertaking negotiations with a certain black-haired double-ponytailed leader of the other party, he has already thoroughly accepted his new identity; but what's wrong with that? At least now the ambitious men and women joining Achai Gang are capable of seeing their own boss’ more “cute” side. 曾经的田野柴认为给犬帮打工是件乐事，随心所欲的和好哥们去舞厅免费蹦迪，梦醒便可听到最狂野激昂的音乐，小手一伸就能触碰到他人求而不得的付费项目. 这样的生活很美好，却又很和自己日益消瘦的身形对比鲜明，于是在某天照镜子后，他悟了. 给人打工，不如给自己打工，痛切明悟这一点的田野柴开始偷偷着手组建自己的势力，他将自己的派系命名为阿柴帮，可缓慢的发展速度让他担忧底蕴过于浅薄的自己必定在和犬帮的生意争夺战中吃瘪. 他深感只靠自己很难在短时间内推翻腐败堕落的犬帮. 现在的他急需人手，与VirtuaReal合作只是他的手段之一......虽然根据他的亲信反应，他似乎完全乐在其中，在多次和对方的某位黑发双马尾社长进行洽谈后，他已经彻彻底底的接受了自己新的身份，但这又有什么不好呢？至少现在加入阿柴帮的有志男女们能够看到自家首领更“可爱”的一面了.
