Don Cortez

Meet Don, AKA The Mayor of 2Chome (that’s Tokyo’s gay district, for the uninitiated). He’s an American Scrabble enthusiast, social butterfly, avid people watcher, and a card-carrying connoisseur of LGBTQIA+ and pop culture.

Don double majored in Political Science and Japanese Language and Culture at Eastern Michigan University, and he has spent over 15 years living in Japan, working in product development and marketing. Not a bad way to earn the title of Mayor.

When he’s not at work, he’s busy creating. His list includes YouTube, cooking, singer-songwriting, music production, singing, dancing, acting, MC’ing and drag. Frankly, we’re tired just typing it. “D-Tective” is his first foray into writing and printed media, and he plans to keep going with more chaotic, fun, adult-themed booklets.

Don believes it doesn’t matter how much you age. Everyone is capable of learning something new that can change their outlook in a positive way. We’d say that’s a good philosophy for a Mayor.
