He's talking about Kenji Hara, who was an extremely prolific developer for
dmd and Phobos for several years but who left a couple of years ago after he
was unhappy with some of what was happening with his PRs for dmd. AFAIK,
he's completely disappeared from the general D community (though he may be
involved with the Japanese D community, since they kind of have their own
thing going as I understand it). I have no clue if he'd be willing to do
anything to help you or not, but this is his github account:
