Shizue Hoshino (born 1969) was a young Japanese man who became a fan of the Arakure Quest video game series. In 1988, Hoshino was in line for the new stock of Arakure Quest 3: Quest for the Quantum Quill copies at the Don Quijote store in Kabukicho. He smoked a cigarette while he waited, including when Kazuma Kiryu was asking around for information on the line outside the store.
