Halvsie's mission is to find "All the Hāfu" and as part of that we are collecting the basic biographies of as many notable hhāfu as we can find. This is our wiki, we have a collection of hāfu videos, interviews and links to other articles at our primary homepage halvsie.com and we also host a Social Network for hāfu members at social.halvsie.com.
