Honestly a fantastic DM. Does a lot of work behind the scenes in foundry for cool animations and keeping things as a player simple. Hits a fantastic balance with important fights feeling very tough and like you have to pull out all the stops, but ending up winning the fight. Very good at balancing the vibe of the players for how much they want things to be serious/have fun and joke around. Highly recommend especially if you want to play higher level DnD!

Ito is a madman of a DM and in a fantastic way. I have played two campaigns with him as the DM, with a third starting soon. He knows his stuff, knows how to make dnd exciting every session, work in homebrew, has fantastic story telling, while giving moments for some funny things to happen. First off, he really helps you make sure your vision for your character is realized before the campaign. From offering class ideas that fit the character you describe to even working on reworking classes to make sure you don't feel like you are having to chose between a class that fits your character, and a class that is going to be fun in combat. And there is going to be times for every member of the party to shine both in story and combat. Not only that but he puts a lot of thought into the world and how each area of the world is so it is easy to start coming up with ideas for characters. During the sessions and the campaign there is a great mix of moments that are funny for both the characters and players, and moments that are serious. Sessions tend to fly by and always made me look forward to next week. He also makes sure that there are things to do during downtime and lets you know when downtime is approaching so you can plan it out a bit beforehand. Depending on how much homebrew your group decides to involve itself in, Ito is great at handling it. He has absolutely crushed the copious amount of homebrew our group uses and is always giving us additional things, since that is what we are into. Whether looking into new homebrew created by other people, or even devising his own it is always exciting to see what ways we can develop our characters. Overall a fantastic DM that I am glad I get to play with and highly recommend him for anyone, especially if base 5e is getting a little dull or you are wanting to not have to sacrifice combat ability for character theme.
