I randomly saw on a Japanese TV station last night something that said that the highest-ranking foreigner in the art of Japanese archery is a guy named Liam O'Brien.

Which, by shocking coincidence, is also the name of the voice actor who voices Archer in Fate/Stay Night. LOL!!!!! Is it the same guy?!

I've met him, the Kyudo sensei, not the voice actor. I was at this event in the UK and he had a Kyudo demonstration. Here's a picture:



He's a nana (7th) dan in kyudo and, as previously said, is the top kyudo person in the UK.

And yes, it is a funny co-incidence.
