{{Nihongo|T.J. Snapper|カメラマン|Camera Man}} is a photographer who appears in [[Freeze Frame]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
==Story==
T.J. Snapper loves to take pictures. He used to take a lot of pictures of his girlfriend who has a career in modeling. One day he got into race cars, and she suggested he take pictures of them for the local paper. He became obsessed with work, never taking pictures of his girlfriend, leaving her feeling a little lonely.

She decided to pull a prank on him, by going to racetrack and dressing up as one of the pit crew. As T.J. Snapper was taking pictures of race cars, she leapt in front of the camera, and to her surprise had her picture taken along with one of the cars. Although she wishes she could've "looked a little more presentable", she's satisfied with the result. She later wrote [[A Confession]] about this. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', she appears in the [[Superb]] epilogue to [[Freeze Frame]], having her picture taken along with the winner of the race.

T.J. Snapper by himself appears in [[Battle of the Bands]] pointing his camera at the [[Rockers (characters)|Rockers]] from the audience. He appears along with his girlfriend in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic]]'' in [[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic#09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night by Maki)|09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き]] (A lively and peaceful night), where a boy passes by T.J Snapper taking pictures of a fancy car, while his girlfriend initially looks displeased that he loves cars so much, but affirms that she loves him anyway. T.J. Snapper also appears in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]]'' in [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#33レスラーとファン (Wrestler and Fans)|33レスラーとファン]] (Wrestler and Fans), where he takes pictures of [[Wrestler]] and his fans as part of the {{Nihongo|Wrestler Fan Satsuei-kai|レスラーファン撮影会|Wrestler Fan Photo Session}}.

==Trivia==
*Although T.J. Snapper's girlfriend mentions being "busy with work" in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Gold]]'' and ''[[Rhythm World]]'', and having a career in modeling in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', the French, German, Italian and Spanish versions of ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'' have her say she always wanted to be a model instead, implying she hasn't started her career yet<ref>"Je voulais devenir mannequin, mais il ne me prend plus en photo." (I wanted to be a model, but he doesn't take pictures of me anymore.) ~ [[A Confession|Aveux]] (Confession), ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'' (French)</ref><ref>"Ich wollte immer gerne Fotomodell werden, aber er kommt gar nicht darauf, mich zu fotografieren." (I've always wanted to be a model, but he doesn't even think about photographing me.) ~ [[A Confession|Geständnis]] (Confession), ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'' (German)</ref><ref>"Pensavo che sarei stata un'ottima modella, ma ora non punta più l'obiettivo verso di me e, in più, mi sento sola!" (I thought I would be a great model, but now he no longer points the lens at me and, plus, I feel lonely!) ~ [[A Confession|Una confessione]] (A Confession), ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'' (Italian)</ref><ref>"Yo quería ser modelo y me encantaba que me sacara fotos día y noche." (I wanted to be a model and I loved that he took pictures of me day and night.) ~ [[A Confession|Una confesión]] (A Confession), ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'' (Spanish)</ref>.
*T.J. Snapper's girlfriend looks similar to [[Mona]] from the ''[[WarioWare Series]]'', although their designs in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' were tweaked to make them more distinct.
**Mona herself also makes a cameo among the [[Racing Fans]] in the [[Freeze Frame]] section of the [[Wario...Where?]] [[Challenge Train]] course, which makes the resemblance more obvious. In the same section, T.J. Snapper is replaced with [[Dr. Crygor]].
