his profile is kind of strange, state occupation as "Kendo Family/House", and his interests are kendo movement.

The forum name is strange too, I gather it means "unusual birth". My bet is on a non-Japanese Osu-Osu. Osu Osu is a term I have found relating to Asian challenged people trying a little too hard to be Asian.

How knows?
I think he/she's a little more sophisticated than that. Your "kendo house" is kendoka and there's nothing wrong with that, although a rather uppity thing to call yourself. And the name doesn't mean unusual birth, it means "reborn" and there's nothing wrong with that either.

I'm more going by the fact that there are a couple of spelling mistakes and that someone of this kid's age in Japan would hardly be able to resist the urge to toss in some random English here and there. But clearly they are not bad at Japanese - maybe it's just someone with the equivalent language ability of half the native English-speakers we see hear (although I still suspect that his/her Japanese was not learned as a complete native speaker).

Internet sleuthing, only for the bored...
