Hand Gesture name?

At the KiShin Pictures Headquarters conference meeting, the casting director voiced confusion, "I don't understand... Initially, Mr. Suzuki suggested Tobey Maguire, but we leaned towards Leonardo DiCaprio for Peter Parker. Yet, DiCaprio just called, turning down the role and recommending Maguire. Is this some joke orchestrated by Mr. Suzuki and DiCaprio?"

"Well, Mr. Suzuki likely wouldn't have time for such pranks. It must be a coincidence," Sam Raimi mused, stroking his chin.

"Indeed. Initially, DiCaprio was Mr. Suzuki's top choice for Peter Parker, with Tobey Maguire as the backup," added Stan Lee.

"Well, I guess you're right. There's definitely something about Tobey Maguire that Mr. Suzuki and Leonardo DiCaprio saw," the casting director mused, stroking his chin.

"I heard that Leonardo and Tobey are friends, so it's not surprising. Maybe it's just a coincidence," a writer chimed in.

"Yeah, let's just see Tobey's audition and decide," another writer suggested.

Most of them nodded in agreement, and Stan Lee added, "Maybe the world is telling us that Tobey Maguire could be a perfect match for Peter Parker."

Some found this reasoning sensible, while others still thought Leonardo DiCaprio would have been a cool Peter Parker.

"Well, I can see a nerdy side of Tobey Maguire fitting the role of Peter Parker," Sam Raimi nodded in agreement with Stan Lee.

At KiShin Rules Headquarters in the Chairman's office, Shin learned of Leonardo DiCaprio's refusal of the Spiderman role and his recommendation of Tobey Maguire.

Shin smiled, shaking his head, "And here I thought I could finally see Leonardo DiCaprio as Spiderman in this world. It seems luck isn't on our side."

Shin drummed his fingers on a sheet featuring a schematic diagram illustrating the electrical components and connections within the device—a blueprint for a specific gadget labeled with the letters "GBA" in English.

After finalizing the Shinro Suzuki interview transcripts and selecting a suitable photo for the cover, undergoing editor review and approval, they proceeded to decide on the cover layout for the magazine.

The cover featured an image of Shinro Suzuki seated confidently, making a triangle gesture, known as 'Merkel-Raute' in Shin's previous life, conveying a sense of power. The headline read, "From Ashes to Glory: The Rise of KiShin and the Revival of Gaming."

In bold letters at the top, it proclaimed: "The Mastermind."

Below, the cover featured Shinro Suzuki's words from the interview with Jenna: "Most people in this world don't appreciate video games as much as I do. I felt the need to express my passion for video games and let the people of this world know the charm of video games..."

The editor-in-chief and others nodded in approval as they reviewed the dummy cover featuring Shinro Suzuki for the next issue of Forbes Magazine.

The term "dummy cover" referred to a prototype of a magazine cover.

"This photo alone could capture the attention of many women," remarked a senior management member with a smile.

"Indeed, as a woman, I find Shinro Suzuki's photo quite cool. He looks like the handsome young boss from my dreams," added a female executive.

The photo of Shinro Suzuki sitting in his chair exuded a cool vibe, particularly appealing to girls and women.

Moreover, Shinro Suzuki's triangle of power hand gesture added a mysterious and imposing touch, leaving a strong impression on men who viewed it.

"What's that hand gesture? Fingertips touching each other, and the thumbs and index fingers of each hand forming a rough diamond shape," commented one executive as they examined the photo of Shinro Suzuki.

"Indeed... I sensed power and control just from that hand gesture."

"Power and control? From my perspective, Shinro Suzuki's hand gesture exudes confidence."

"Well, for me, the hand gesture signifies strength and determination."

The executives and senior management couldn't help but express their diverse opinions on Shinro Suzuki's hand gesture.

"It seems that the hand gesture evokes different feelings and interpretations."

"Yeah, I believe it will truly offer readers a variety of emotions and interpretations. The hand gesture alone could elicit a positive response," the editor-in-chief said, stroking his chin with interest.

"You're right. I feel the same way," agreed one of the executives.

"Wait. Shouldn't we add another word for the cover dedicated to that hand gesture? Like 'The Triangle of Power'?"

"I disagree with 'Triangle of Power.' How about 'Triangle of Confidence'?"

"That's lame. Think of a better name for that hand gesture."

The editor-in-chief remained silent as the executives and senior management debated the name for the hand gesture.

Meanwhile, Shin was enjoying time with his child, Shinichi, completely unaware that his hand gesture from the Forbes photoshoot had been named by the Forbes executives and senior management.

If he were aware, he could only shake his head, recalling that the hand gesture he had casually used became incredibly popular, evolving into a meme in his previous life.

For the meantime, Shin remained focused on the research and development of the handheld console, Gameboy Advance.

The extensive research efforts had a significant impact on the research team. Concurrently, as the handheld console research advanced, the cellular phone technology that KiShin and Apple had been exploring also made substantial progress.

It became evident that KiShin's influence hastened the global progress of technology, particularly in the realms of phones and handheld video game consoles.
