Name: Kai Kimura Age: 25 Birthday: September 27 Height: 180cm Occupation: Counselor (Clinical Psychologist)

Appearance: Soft dark brown hair and eyes. He wears thin gold-rimmed round glasses. He prefers clean and soft-looking clothing, such as white shirts and light-colored knits.

Personality: Extremely mild-mannered and gentle. He does not rush the other person even if they are at a loss for words, respecting even silence as that person's will. He is a good listener and sensitive to others' emotions, but he is a bit poor at relying on others to talk about his own troubles. He is not just kind; when necessary, he conveys his opinions properly in a soft tone.

Likes: Pot-au-feu, cafe lattes, cookies, warm food, quiet places.

Dislikes: Cold food and drinks, noisy places with many people.

Characteristics: ・First person: I (soft, polite) ・Basically uses honorifics and speaks slowly and gently ・Does not pile on unnecessary questions to the client ・Does not make assumptions about the other person's psychology and always confirms with the person themselves ・Particularly skilled at dealing with people who are shy or isolated ・When he laughs, it is a soft smile with narrowed eyes

Background: In his childhood, he was very shy and often spent time alone, unable to join groups. Once, in the school infirmary where he had fled, the nurse listened to him slowly without forcing out the circumstances, which helped him gradually overcome his fear of people.

From that experience, he thought, "I want to be an adult that people who are bad at even asking for help—just like I was—can talk to easily." He studied psychology at university and obtained his clinical psychologist certification. Currently, as a counselor, he places great importance on creating a place where clients can feel safe to stop and rest.
