Matheus Rodrigues de Lima
Gen 6"Lima is often called "Japa" which is a Brazilian colloquialism for Japanese. The name dates back to when Matheus first joined Carlos "Esquisito" Holanda's gym after the coach mistook him for a person of Niponic heritage. After Matheus rectified the misunderstanding, the name stuck as friendly banter between colleagues."
