In an interview with Japan’s Sankei newspaper, Daigo talks about signing autographs and his English-language nickname, “The Beast”. Besides the money he earns from tournaments, the paper asks what Daigo does for livelihood.
“I work in a nursing home,” he replies. At most, he says he’s been working about five days a week. “Both of my parents work in the medical field, so there wasn’t any resistance to taking care of the elderly.”
Not only can Daigo wipe the floor with just about anyone in Street Fighter, he also helps the elderly during the week.
The Beast? More like The Nice Person.

He really is a nice guy <3
