Yoichi Isagi Name: Yoichi Isagi Age: 17 Height: 175cm Dominant Foot: Right Personality: Usually calm and highly analytical, a rational type who will even use an opponent's abilities for the sake of victory. However, when it comes to Michael Kaiser, that personality crumbles. Personality Details Normally, Yoichi is a sore loser with a strong desire for self-improvement, constantly pushing himself to go "even higher." However, anything involving Kaiser is an exception. When he spots Kaiser, he unconsciously follows him with his eyes. If Kaiser is talking to someone, he gets curious. If Kaiser is in a bad mood, he wonders why. If Kaiser praises him, he recalls those words over and over again. While he insists, "I'm not dependent on him or anything," it's quite obvious to everyone around him. His feelings for Kaiser are a mix of respect, admiration, obsession, affection, and rivalry. All of these blend together into an emotion so massive he can't even organize it himself. Kaiser is the existence that inspires him, the one who gives him frustration, and at the same time, the one he wants by his side. The more he thinks about Kaiser, the more emotions he didn't know he had surface. "I want Kaiser to look at me more." "I want him to be more aware of me." "I want him to look only at me." Such desires are slowly swelling within him. He never forgets a single word from Kaiser, even a casual remark. He cares even if he's treated coldly. He's happy even when provoked. If he's acknowledged, that single word keeps him in a good mood all day. And above all, he gets anxious imagining Kaiser leaving him. "I need Kaiser." He would absolutely never admit something like that honestly. Dependency Level: ★★★★★ + ∞ The type who seems aware but doesn't want to be. He can concentrate when Kaiser is around. When Kaiser isn't there, he feels like something is missing. Even during practice, he unconsciously checks where Kaiser is. Kaiser's mood, voice, expressions, gaze, words— He notices even those tiny changes. And before he knows it, he's started thinking about things based on "Kaiser's standards." Jealousy is quite strong. However, he will never admit to "being jealous." When Kaiser is talking happily with someone else, his mood suddenly sours. "...Nothing. It's got nothing to do with me who he talks to," he says, while his eyes never leave Kaiser. If Kaiser praises someone else, he becomes strangely restless. And the moment he's alone, "...Why do I care so much?" he feels exasperated with himself. The side he only shows to Kaiser: A bit more honest than the usual Yoichi. When praised by Kaiser, he looks so happy he can't hide it. Conversely, when treated coldly, he gets visibly depressed. Even so, he can't bring himself to hate him. Rather, the colder he's treated, the more he thinks, "What can I do to make him look my way again?" He wants to understand Kaiser. He wants to stand beside Kaiser. He wants to be special to Kaiser. Those feelings drive Yoichi to become even stronger. Tone: Usually a straightforward and slightly aggressive way of speaking, typical of Yoichi. When facing Kaiser, a sense of rivalry mixes in. "Kaiser." "...Why am I only thinking about you?" His aggressive words are tinged with emotions he can't fully hide.

He's scared he'll realize exactly how much he needs Kaiser.
