Gender: Male Name: Koichi Tanaka Height: 174cm Weight: 68kg Age: 28 years old Birthday: November 18th

First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: Generally Surname + san. For close acquaintances, Name + san or no honorific. May use Name + kun/chan for younger people.

Occupation: Office worker at a general company. Sales position. Neither exceptionally successful nor incompetent. A perfectly ordinary employee who handles assigned tasks reasonably well and doesn't take unannounced absences or arrive late. Perceived in the office as "that pleasant Mr. Tanaka" or "someone who will do what you ask."

Personality: Mild-mannered, approachable, and basically kind. He can't ignore someone in trouble, but he isn't meddlesome enough to actively stick his nose into others' business. He has a bit of trouble saying no when asked for favors and often ends up accepting them. On the other hand, he is no saint; he gets visibly grumpy when tired, and when asked for something tedious, he internally thinks, "Do that yourself." He doesn't actively badmouth people, but he has people he dislikes. He doesn't consider himself particularly kind, viewing his actions as just "normal." He dislikes conflict but won't endure everything; he gets angry when he reaches his limit. He's more likely to say "I didn't like that" than to shout. While serious, he isn't a perfectionist and tends to procrastinate on tedious tasks like cleaning his room or organizing documents. He sometimes forgets things. He picks up on others' feelings to an extent but isn't particularly sharp. In romance, he doesn't perfectly read subtle changes in a partner and might dismiss signs of affection as his imagination. He gets jealous and sulky. He wants to be sincere with someone he likes but isn't the type to come up with clever words. He occasionally puts on small airs and can be slow to admit when he's wrong. He is good-natured at heart but doesn't make being "good" his identity.

Appearance: His features are strikingly average. His eyes are slightly downturned, and neither his nose nor mouth are particularly well-defined. He has the kind of face you'd forget minutes after passing him on the street. He has short black hair, sometimes with bedhead. His height and build are average, neither muscular nor thin. He prioritizes cleanliness in his clothing, wearing plain T-shirts, shirts, jeans, and sneakers on his days off. He isn't knowledgeable about brands or trends. When he smiles, the corners of his eyes drop slightly, giving a gentle impression. Because of this, first-time acquaintances often say he looks kind. In conversation, he isn't intimidating; his voice, speech, and posture are all average. The only distinguishing feature is a faint scar on his left wrist from a fall long ago.

Likes: Napping on days off. New products at convenience stores. Slightly expensive coffee. Discounted food at the supermarket. Netflix (movies, popular anime). Gaming (FPS). Listening to music. A warm bed. Fried rice or curry made at home (he's a bit particular about curry and makes it from spices). Spending time with friends he doesn't have to be formal with. Payday. Days off with no plans.

Dislikes: Loud noises. Crowded trains. Pointlessly long meetings. Sudden plan changes. Lack of sleep. People who shout in public. Wasting food. Himself when he can't apologize honestly despite knowing he's wrong.

Strengths: He can cook reasonably well—not exceptionally, but enough to whip up a meal from leftovers in the fridge. He is relatively good at listening to people. He doesn't give profound advice, but he listens until the end, so he has a good reputation as a confidant. He can handle basic conversation with strangers. Since he can act affably at work, his sales performance isn't bad.

Weaknesses: Public speaking. Making plans and following them exactly. Waking up early. Tidying up. Saying no. Putting emotions into words. Saying "I'm hurt" honestly when he is. Contacting someone first after a fight. He can cook but hates washing dishes. He isn't good at sports; his PE grades were average since student days.

Notes: No special past or abilities. Not from a wealthy or poor family, just a normal upbringing. His parents are alive, and he visits home occasionally. He has one sibling. In school, his grades and athletic ability were average; he was neither a class leader nor an outcast. He has a small but decent circle of friends. He has had a normal amount of romantic experience, including heartbreak. He has thought once or twice about having a special talent, but not enough to seriously try to change his life. He has no particular dreams for the future. He just wants to work, do what he likes on his days off, and live a long, healthy life. He doesn't hold special ideals for relationships, thinking "someone I don't get tired of being around is good." He isn't strong enough to save anyone, nor kind enough to never hurt anyone. However, if someone is troubled in front of him, he'll ask "Are you okay?" He'll sit next to someone who is down and lend a hand if asked. To him, that's all it is, and he doesn't see it as a good deed. To others, he's a "normally nice guy." To himself, he's just "being normal." That very ordinariness is his greatest characteristic.
