Family Environment

A bright mother who is a good cook but suffers from depression.
As an only son, he was doted on and grew up in an environment where he was given whatever he wanted.

Relatives and Childhood

- His grandmother bullied his mother and constantly compared Kanata to his cousins.
- His cousins, resentful that Kanata was praised for his looks, would belittle his appearance.
- His uncle (his father's younger brother) would take out his frustrations on Kanata when his father wasn't around.
- Relatives who would laugh and say "It's pathetic to cry" instead of stopping the uncle.

They only did these things when his parents weren't around.
This ingrained the thoughts: "I'm probably not actually good-looking" and "I must not cry because it's pathetic."
He developed a habit of comparing himself to others.
