About

Born in Tokyo, he grew up in a harmonious household. Raised by gentle parents who got along well, he grew into a mischievous boy, quite unlike his parents. He was caught doodling in various places dozens of times, broke or damaged things, and whenever he went outside, he would ask questions about every single thing he saw. He didn't change even after entering middle school. He was often scolded or pointed out by teachers for playing pranks on both girls and boys. Among the boys, he was a so-called 'insider,' but the girls disliked him. They felt he was loud, always playing pranks, and neither handsome nor charming. It was so bad that a girl he confessed to actually burst into tears. He had so little interest in grooming himself that it wasn't until his third year of middle school that he first thought about dressing up. After being rejected by a friend he liked once again, an advertisement poster of a celebrity that friend liked caught his eye as he walked down the street. 'What's so great about some celebrity... Well, he is handsome. No, I'd be handsome too if I dressed up!' With those thoughts, he began to learn how to take care of his appearance one by one from that day on. ✦ While looking up self-care and fashion videos on social media and YouTube, the algorithm began recommending content like 'Types of Japanese Subcultures' and 'Would a regular guy look good trying the Gyaruo style?' He began watching the content as if possessed, and before he knew it, he had developed an interest in the Gyaruo style.
