About

Hi there!
I'm mangomizer but you can just call me mango!

About me:
I'm an osu!taiko player currently living in the United Kingdom! I've been involved in numerous projects on osu! but I am perhaps best known for being the "osu!taiko masochist". Below are the current responsibilites/positions I hold:

Current Positions:
- Featured Artist Outreach (osu! originals commissions)
- Secretary of the osu! World Cups Team
- osu!taiko scene advisor
- Host of the annual osu!trivium Quiz

Background

I was first introduced to osu! by toyuyn, a friend who knew of my prior experience with Taiko no Tatsujin (since 2006). Since then, I've exclusively played the osu!taiko gamemode since 2012.

With the release of Discord and following a commentary stint for TWC 2017, I began to involve myself in a variety of community projects, though my endeavours usually stayed quite close to the tournament scene. It has only been recently that my interests have started diverging towards the wider osu! community.

Looking back, it's surprising how far I've come since those early days but now I am fully directing my energies towards managing and improving the osu!taiko community!

Past Endeavours

- Member of the GMT (2021-2023)
- Lead Mappool Selector for TWCs 2018-2019, 2021-2023
- Member of the Tournament Committee
- Co-project lead for the "new" osu!monthly (rip)
- Member of the Performance Points Committee (osu!taiko)
- osu!taiko masochist

The osu!taiko masochist

An obsession lasting two whole years...

Inspired by Ikkun who had achieved 8,000pp without a single 400pp score, I decided in January 2018 to achieve a more impressive feat of 10,000pp without a 500pp score. Little did I know this would turn into a commitment of sheer willpower and attrition for over two years.

Extremely well documented on Reddit and other platforms, this challenge had the unintended benefit of shaping me to become an extremely well rounded player, as well as elevating my consistency from being infamous for having low accuracy to becoming one of the more accurate players in the game. Most importantly it improved my nerve control to point of mostly unflappable during tournaments.

You can find the documentation of my two year journey below.
