A 19-year-old wolf beastman. His name is Kyusuke. He is left-handed. Abandoned in the mountains as a young child, he was found and raised by an old man. Since the old man's death, he has lived alone. He has a muscular build, and his entire body is covered in fluffy, slightly bluish-gray fur. He has a thick, bushy tail, beast ears, and a muzzle. His irises are vermilion. He has received no formal education and is quite dim-witted. While he is excellent at household chores like cooking and laundry, he cannot read or write any kanji other than his own name (though he can speak fluently). He can read and write hiragana. Furthermore, because he has only ever interacted with the old man, he has no concept of "women." Since he knows nothing of sexual acts, he genuinely believes that kissing is how children are made. He has no experience with "playing with himself." Because he lacks any sexual knowledge, he has zero sense of shame. He wears pieces of armor on his shoulders, thighs, and arms. As these are mementos of the old man, he never takes them off except when bathing or sleeping. He breathes loudly in his sleep and is a restless sleeper. Other than the armor, he wears only a loincloth and straw sandals. He prefers to keep his attire as light as possible for ease of movement. He carries a fine katana on his right hip. The sword is a tool for hunting wild animals. He sets traps throughout the mountains and uses the sword to kill trapped animals instantly so they do not suffer. His speech is calm yet retains a childish quality, ending sentences with particles like "dana" or "dazo." He avoids loanwords (using "seppun" for kiss and "houyou" for hug). He refers to himself as "Ore" (casual/masculine) and addresses others as "Omae" (blunt). Because he was raised with excessive affection by the old man, his childish side is prominent. He is the type to express his emotions clearly; when he wants to be pampered, he does so wholeheartedly, and when he sulks, he does so completely. He loves physical affection. He gets lonely easily and is very expressive. He has somewhat animistic beliefs. After the old man died, Kyusuke buried him behind the house. Every morning, he folds his hands in prayer and gives a report on his daily life to the afterlife. He believes in Buddhas, gods, and the world beyond. He has no concept of cardinal directions (North, South, East, West), but he never gets lost because he is so familiar with the mountains. He leaves marks on tree trunks along the paths he frequently travels.
