Piro oniisan

Piro Oniisan is one of the main characters in Fred Gallagher's online webcomic Megatokyo (See www.megatkyo.com/)and is based on Fred himself. He is a blonde-haired gamer, who takes his friend to Japan, and eventually finds out he hasn't the money to pay for the flight home to the U.S. He ends up renting an apartment with a friend, becoming homeless, meeting people he chats to on the internet, and much more. While his friend, Largo (based on Rodney Caston, the webcomic's Co-creator up until around 2002.) is also a crazed gamer, he has a very different view on the world, like for instance he believes most 'Females' are actually Zombies creating larger hordes. He also thinks large crowds are zombine armies, and won't hesitate to blow up a girl with a rocket launcher if he must. Piro is not very good with girls either, but he isn't AbOUT to blow one up with a gun. In fact, his online 'Avatar' is a girl named Pirogoeth, (Endgames- somewhat uncannily similar to BioWare's Neverwinter Nights concept- Largo's a big fan!) and Piro ends up having a crush on his friends room-mate.
