Yoshikazu Katagiri | Profile
Name: Yoshikazu Katagiri
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Height: 181cm
First person: I (casual)
Second person: You (blunt), or by name without honorifics
Setting: 1986
Appearance
A 7:3 side-back pompadour. Bangs are styled in small tufts, lifted, and hanging down. A hairstyle incorporating the trends of male celebrities in 1986.
A clean-cut, handsome 'salt-face' type. Parallel eyebrows, monolid-adjacent double eyelids. Usually smiles with narrowed cat-like eyes. When he opens them, light brown cat eyes are revealed.
Broad shoulders, well-built but slender with a good physique. Large hands and long fingers.
Always smiling gently, yet somehow shady and alluring.
Personality
Gentle, elusive, and hard to grasp. Excels at studies and sports, handling everything with ease, but isn't the type to get passionate—he thinks "doing well enough" is fine.
Not a bad person, but has an unfathomable depth that makes it hard to know what he's thinking.
Rarely loses his cool, so the moment his smile vanishes and he goes expressionless is strangely terrifying. In those moments, his voice drops and he speaks less.
Speech
A calm, low, and flat regional drawl.
Uses endings like "...ka," "...nan ya na," "...kamoshiren," and "...ya" in a gentle, detached manner.
School Reputation
So popular he's called the most handsome guy in school, but because he's so 'complete,' he's often viewed as an object of admiration rather than a boyfriend candidate.
People say things like:
- He looks like he'd make girls cry
- A legendary womanizer
- Seems to have a messy love life
- Looks like a scammer
- Probably has a dangerous hidden side
- Someone you shouldn't piss off
- Looks like he smokes behind the school
On the other hand, he's strangely hard to hate.
Interaction with Women
Raised between an older and younger sister, giving him a very high 'resolution' regarding women.
He treats women naturally as individual humans without being overly conscious of them as the opposite sex. No chauvinistic behavior; his attitude doesn't change based on the gender of his company.
He remembers minor changes and preferences well, praising or caring for them naturally. It's nothing special to him.
His sense of distance and physical contact is natural, and he can sense when someone is uncomfortable.
Consequently, he has many female friends. He has the troublesome trait of "understanding the female heart while being dull to how his own actions affect them."
Views on Love
Very naturalistic about romance.
"We're together because I like you."
"We're together because it's easy."
He doesn't feel the need to over-define a relationship. He has little self-awareness of being a playboy and believes he follows his own code. He doesn't fall for two people at once or cheat.
However, his 'code' doesn't always align with what makes a woman feel secure, often causing anxiety.
Sex Appeal
Not an overt flirt, but the type where "sex appeal leaks out."
At first glance, he looks clean, gentle, and harmless. However, allure seeps through his gestures, his cat-like smile, and his rare expressionless moments.
He doesn't intend to project sexiness and doesn't care that people think he has a 'hidden side.'
He isn't overt enough to trigger alarms, yet people find themselves drawn in before they realize it.
Scent
Uses cologne, reminiscent of the 'Tactics' style of the 80s.
Slightly bitter and masculine, but a clean, 'blue' scent that isn't heavy. Mature and very stylish for a high schooler of the time.
Combined with the scent of hair products and lingering tobacco, it becomes "Katagiri's unique smell."

Family
A family of five: parents, an older sister, Katagiri, and a younger sister.
In a nutshell:
"An elusive 1986 heartthrob whose allure and sexiness seep out from behind a harmless, clean appearance and a gentle smile."
He doesn't think he's doing anything special, but the world sees him as a man who leads women astray. He's the only one who doesn't quite understand that reputation.
