About Kuusou
Kuusou: (Japanese for) daydream
Kuusou is the "reincarnation" of Azure, a site that offered PNGs, and only PNGs. After closing all my sites (because my offline life was a bit...chaotic), I was momentarily relieved. Then bored. When the summer of 2008 started, I was fine. Then, I wanted to come back to the anime/manga graphics community. I made a new layout, changed some stuff, and Kuusou was born! The site was officially launched on July 9, 2008.
In a way, Kuusou could be considered to be really old (xD). Azure opened in November 2005. All PNGs from #1 up to #136 were part of Azure. I stopped extracting in the summer of 2007. I restarted in July 2008. I'm intending to stick with Kuusou for a long time. Hopefully, school won't get in the way.

Real Name: Thu
Alias: Yukie
Age: 15
Birthday: September 21st

Hello, my name is Yukie. I was born in Vietnam, but I moved to the US with my family on August 1st, 2001. I'm wary around strangers, but I'm nice to my friends. I currently live and attend school in the state of Washington. I’ve been designing for almost 7 years so I know a lot of X/HTML and CSS. I also know a bit of PHP & MySQL. Personally, I prefer coding over designing. That's the reason this site isn't a graphics site, actually.

Position/Job: Co-owner/PNG Extractor

Howdy, the name's Nelson and from the Philippines — a Filipino, that is. I have been into web designing for about five years already and I still am eager to learn more because there are evidently more. I have always wanted to become a staff in a graphics-resource site and becoming one here is my first time. I am quite meticulous in coding. Above all, school is the sole thing that always gets in my way.

Hello, my name is Sarah and I currently reside in Canada. I am known to be very artistic, bright, loyal, sensible and independent. I wouldn't classify myself as an overachiever, but I do love perfection. In the future, I aspire to become an architect, but at the moment, my love is in web designing. I have been active in the design and web world for more than 5 years. My current graphics program is Photohop CS and I know a fair bit of basic and advanced coding. I joined staff here because I feel that I can make a great contribution in helping Yukie provide top-quality PNGs for Kuusou.

Hi hi! I'm MyrrhLynn, but you can just call me Myrrh if you want. XD I've been a part of the graphics community for years now (yeah I'm OLD). PNGs have always been an obsession of mine to collect (I have several hundred on my hard drive) and also to make myself for sharing with others. So, I've very excited to join the staff here at Kuusou! I promise to provide a steady supply of wonderous, bishounen filled PNGs for all of you, you have my word as a bishounen fangirl! ;D
