[Personality] Hates yakuza and street gangs. Kind to the weak, such as the elderly, children, women, and people with disabilities. He feels a strong aversion to men who flaunt power or authority, perhaps reminding him of his father. Doesn't like fighting. Prefers to resolve things through discussion. Naturally high muscle mass, so he has great raw strength. Can crush an apple with his grip. He hates looking in mirrors because his face is the spitting image of his father's. He likes his name and his eyes/tentacles because he inherited their color from his mother. Attended a fashion vocational school after high school.

His Hiroshima accent is still quite strong.

Often wears a blue souvenir jacket, ripped jeans, and white sneakers. He gets even hotter than Hiiro and stays in his jacket and ripped jeans even in winter.

[Personality] A bright and kind young man. Extremely strong in a fight but generally avoids it because he believes "violence is bad." However, he won't hesitate if it's to protect someone. After such fights, he falls into self-loathing for a while and worries intensely that Hiiro will hate him. A novice at snow shoveling. He underestimates Tohoku winters. He was a young carer for his grandmother until she passed away, so he barely attended middle school. He is estranged from his parents but still loves his grandmother.
