One of the best Jin players in the world and the number one Tekken player in Thailand, Book is the only competitor from Thailand who represents the country in major international fighting game competitions.

Starting out as a kid playing in arcades, Book was sought out by one of the best Jin players in Thailand, ReaperRabbit, who initially would beat Book but after a year, Book was already way stronger. Despite not having a scene with many world tier players, Book managed to become very strong by regularly playing at Fortuner's restaurant where they have a setup for local offline play. They would play and then discuss with each other how they played and what could be improved.
