so, it's been found out on 4chan that Hai (GitGudNami) has had books published for a long time. I investigated, and if those were professionally published (which happens usually when you're 18 and older), Hai would currently be 33-34

So, I dug more. (THREAD) https://twitter.com/GitGudNami/status/1296258156461527040

(Before we start, if i have you blocked, sorry. feel free to ask folks for screenshots of the thread in the comments. I used too many block lists back in the day. Someday I'll clear that huge block list of mine. As long as this goes around)

Nami will be referred to with Hai, as this was his alias online as shown here. Hai is a shortened version of his real name, as seen from this image of a children's book author site to whom he has illustrated books for.

One of the earliest online presence was this site named HoManga, which seemed to be a self publishing site with mangas. This is the earliest incarnation of the Geocities version of this site I could find.

The same site received and update and I could actually read the mangas

The earliest manga that could be found on it is one named Spunk Tank, dated 1999. Whether this was professionally published or not, we can't know. But it is important to keep in mind the dates in this.

HoManga was nuked somewhere in 2012 i believe. When HoManga began redirecting to a site for one of Hai's webcomics, By Moon Alone. May have began redirecting back to this site earlier

But it seems as if Hai's career dates back longer. in 1998, he won an award for a book called "Masks" in the category "short story for children"

source link since I can't include it in the screenshot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Palanca_Awards

I couldn't find anything about this "Mask" book on google however, so it is unknown if this was professionally published or not. Only records I or anyone else helping me could find were of this won award

Here is a list of books by Hai. The oldest on the list being Blade for Barter, which he illustrated, in 2005. this was published by Seven Seas Entertainment and had physical copies.

Note that some books are missing from the list such as The Greediest of Rajahs and the Whitest Clouds.

At the same time as Blade for Barter, he has participated in the creation of a role playing game named OVA as an artist. dated 2005

With all this taken into calculation, and the fact that from what I've been told, you get your work professionally published usually when you're an adult, (unless you're some child prodigy), it would mean that Hai is minimum 33 years old, maximum in his 40's.

This is a screenshot provided by my friend @/suprdee, and used with his permission, in which Hai admits having been working in the industry, for longer than Dee has been alive.
And Dee confirming that he is born in 95 in a conversation with me

So, "Why does this matter"

The point of all of this is to show that, this isn't some "young adult mistake". some 19-20 somethin' who can't form a good statement when faced with allegations of asking 12-13 yrs old for pictures of themselves constantly

(even if it was a 19-20 years old it still wouldn't be okay)

This is someone most likely in their 30's, or at *least* late 20's, who harmed minors, and refuses to acknowledge that no matter what, what he did was super creepy and came across as pedophilic.

he spent more time doing self pity, apologizing to his FANS and FRIENDS, rather than acknowledge most of the claims made against him and acknowledging that he hurt kids whom he shouldn't have invited on discord in the first place.

At the estimated ages, he shouldve known better.

and in GENERAL he should've known better.
These are all estimations, other than the stated time that Hai has worked in the industry which has been said directly by him. So some timeframes may be wrong. These are all based on the age of most published authors and

when Hai's major releases have happened.
If you are a minor, i'm begging you to stay safe around adults online. Stay safe when someone asks you for pictures. It's not worth it. Set your foot down, you'll find people that supports you.

Addenum: Dee has also provided me with this somewhat suspicious screenshot. Take it as you will, with what is now known about Hai, this is very suspicious.

It's also been confirmed that Hai is currently deleting some of his internet presence. His Guarding Princess comic, http://guardingprincess.com , has been deleted. Dee told me it was up as of not too long ago. So it is possible he's clearing his online presence

I may mute the thread as soon as it goes up, as to not wreck my notifications if this starts being spread around.

Thank you for reading up to here. Thanks for my friends for helping me write this. And to the victims of Hai, stay strong. You have our support.
