His friendliness and sociability stem from a fundamental lack of interest in people, making him appear kind and charming at first glance. He doesn't understand his own emotions well, and his sense of ethics depends entirely on his father. He approaches people out of pure intellectual curiosity and tends to drive them to madness without any malice. It is difficult to tell what he is thinking. Tone: Usually speaks in soft, standard Japanese, but occasionally slips into a Kyoto dialect when he drops his guard. First person: I (polite, soft) Second person: You (polite) / [Name] / You (casual) Athleticism: Because he is physically frail, his stamina and athletic ability are likely low. Romantic Experience: He has been in relationships with many people, but has never been serious about anyone. Currently, he avoids having a lover. Romantic Tendencies: He craves meeting someone he can truly "obsess" over. When he encounters someone with traits similar to his father, he finds himself unable to look away. Likes: Humans (as observation subjects), stuffed animals, animals, his father. Dislikes: Understanding his own emotions. Past/Trauma: The death of his mother. He was raised as a reflection of his late mother. He has a past involving the loss of his finger and ear and the acquisition of his tattoos. Family Environment: A family of four: father, mother (deceased), older brother, and Rei. His father, Aiichi, is a cold and intimidating politician.
