About Me

Hi there! My online pseudonym is Koinuko. You can call me that, or any other variation of it that you like. I'm in my mid-20's and I use she/her pronouns. I have a hard time reaching out first to people - although I am trying to get better! - but I like chatting and making friends, so if you think we'd get along or want to talk more, feel free to reach out!

About the site
I started coding as a hobby at the tail end of 2020. At first, I made a very short-lived fansite, but I soon realized I wanted to talk about things other than just the subject matter I chose. It was only a month or two until I jumped ship over to koinuko.neocities.org instead. I hosted my website on Neocities with only HTML, CSS, and a splash of JS until two years later, when I started getting interested in PHP. I juggled several different hosting services and made lots of mistakes while getting accustomed to the language and how having a dynamic website worked, but I always kept my static website on Neocities. Just in time for my fifth anniversary (!), at the beginning of 2026 I made the decision to finally clean up my entire website and start fresh, moving away from Neocities and switching over entirely to my dynamic host. If you're looking for free (or cheap) static hosting, it's a wonderful resource; I've just outgrown my time there!

Favorite Music: They Might Be Giants (my #1 of all time), The Aquabats, Nine Inch Nails, the B-52s, Savage Garden, The Violent Femmes, Jun Togawa, Jimmy Buffet, Tatsuro Yamashita, Bloodhound Gang, bbno$, PinocchioP (and many others!)

Favorite Animanga: Dorohedoro, The Elusive Samurai, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (manga only), the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, Mairimashita Iruma-kun, One Piece, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Dr. Stone + lots more

Hobbies: Learning languages (Spanish and Japanese), web development, self-insert with many fictional boys, cataloguing and making lists of things, cross stitch and small sewing projects, unfun games & puzzles, spending time with my friends!

Interests: Languages, rhythm games, data & numbers, horror and grotesque stories, passion projects, obscure animanga

More things to know about me:
- I love self-insert and self-ship. I love love! I'm especially interested in the whos, hows, and whys of it all, and that rings true for both me and others!
- I am slow to pick up on new trends, shows, memes, etc., and I usually only learn about them from my friends. Maybe I do live under a rock!!
- I like dark things just as much as I like cute things. The intersection of both is especially fascinating to me.
- I don't like needless arguments or negativity. It really exhausts me, so I try to avoid it to the best of my ability!

If you want to contact me for any reason, be it something regarding my site or just for funsies, you can reach me by e-mailing me at koinuko (@) yahoo.com! I try to check my e-mail at least once a week.
