Get the sakuga mug.The living definition of the Japanese workforce. Complete workaholic who will do everything possible to finish a project, all without any regards for their own health. He will work his hands down to the bone, then down to the marrow, then he will get prosthetic arms just to continue his work, if he hasn't died from stress yet. Masahiro Sakurai will pour his soul into anything and everything until he has no soul left, then pours in some blood and flesh for good measure.
