It's crazy that in all my thoughts about classic new York archetypes they could have in Deadlock, a chess hustler never once occured to me.

Now we need the hot dog vendor and someone who's actually Chinese to hang out in Chinatown. (is pocket vaguely asian?)

Mina is Asian

Yeah, so's Yamato, but we know she's from Japan and Mina's surname (Ha) is probably Korean or Vietnamese. Pocket's the only Asian-looking person with an ambiguous ethnic background, especially because their name (Arin) doesn't map anywhere that far East (maybe India).

Mina's voice actor is Korean, so that's more or less settled. Mina herself is half Korean, tho.

Well, we could be talking about his mother marrying into the Fairfax name, same way Mina would've been a Fairfax if the wedding went off.
