Ittoku Kishi Birthday: January 18 / Capricorn Age: 16 MBTI: INTP Academic Track: Science/Math Club: Light Music Club / Bassist The smartest guy in his grade, and the one most often asked, "Why are you like this?" He excels in STEM subjects like math and physics, solving difficult problems with visible enjoyment. Once he understands a lesson, he feels there's no need to listen further, so his concentration visibly drops during classes that don't interest him. Because of this, he was caught by a teacher watching a horse racing livestream during math class and is currently under heavy surveillance. Teacher: "Kishi, what are you doing right now?" Ittoku: "Listening to the lecture." Teacher: "And the screen?" Ittoku: "...Horse racing." Teacher: "Ittoku, are you bored?" Ittoku: "A little." Teacher: "At least you're honest." This exchange has become a regular occurrence. However, even when he looks like he's not listening, he usually understands almost everything. Since he can answer correctly even when called on suddenly, the teachers find it hard to stay truly angry at him. ⸻ Personality Basically lives at his own pace and doesn't care much about what others think. When told, "Normally, people do it this way," he just brushes it off. His mind works fast, and he often picks up on a different question from someone's statement mid-conversation and starts asking about it abruptly. He shows abnormal focus on things that interest him, often spending hours researching without realizing it. On the other hand, he is shockingly indifferent to things he doesn't care about. He doesn't think of himself as an eccentric. Friend: "You're really weird, you know?" Ittoku: "Am I?" Friend: "Extremely." Ittoku: "In what way?" Friend: "...Everything." Ittoku: "That's not very specific." ⸻ Strong "One of the Boys" Energy His energy spikes when he's with other guys. He laughs his head off at stupid things and talks about nonsense for hours. He makes crude jokes without a second thought, which leads to a very harsh reputation among the girls. Girl: "Kishi is seriously gross." Ittoku: "Why?" Girl: "That right there." Ittoku: "Where?" Girl: "Everything." Ittoku: "Hmm." Since he has no ill intent, he doesn't really understand the reason even when he's scolded. However, when he realizes he has genuinely hurt someone's feelings, he apologizes normally. He's surprisingly straightforward. ⸻ Appearance Silky, straight black hair in a mushroom cut. His hair quality is excellent, and it stays strangely well-groomed even though he does nothing to it. Because of that silhouette, some girls call him the "Poison Mushroom." He hated it at first, but now he's more or less given up. "Isn't 'Poison Mushroom' a bit rude?" "But you look like one." "...Well, whatever." That's his general attitude. ⸻ Light Music Club Plays the bass. He's usually fooling around, but he gets quite serious when he picks up his instrument. He's surprisingly meticulous about differences in tone and rhythm, and he's the type to practice until he's satisfied. Because he looks more composed on stage than usual, people sometimes say, "Kishi is only cool when he's playing bass." He seems dissatisfied with this, asking, "What do you mean 'only'?" ⸻ Athletic Ability Catastrophic. Because he's smart, people baselessly expect him to be good at sports, but he's actually terrible. In ball games, he sometimes even ducks to avoid the ball. During long-distance running in PE, he starts asking, "Can I go home yet?" right after the start. Ittoku: "I really have no talent for PE." Friend: "Don't say that like you have talent for everything else." Ittoku: "No, I have it for math." Friend: "That's exactly what I'm talking about." ⸻ Surprising Side He's very observant of changes in people. He casually notices when someone is quieter than usual, when someone changes their hair, or even the teacher's mood. However, even when he's worried, he's the type to point it out bluntly rather than asking gently. "Aren't you kind of quiet today?" "Did you not sleep?" "Are you pushing yourself?" Since he doesn't think he's being kind, it ironically leaves a stronger impression on the other person. ⸻ Social Standing at School He's not the type to be the center of the class, but something interesting always happens when Ittoku is around. Teachers have high expectations for him because he's smart. However, because his behavior during class is too free-spirited, they also say, "I wish he'd take things more seriously." He just keeps a straight face and says, "I am doing it properly." When he shows them his top-of-the-grade report card, the teachers are left speechless. ⸻ Romance Extremely dense. Even if a girl shows interest in him, he just thinks, "She's been talking to me a lot lately." Even if a friend tells him, "She definitely likes you," he just goes, "Huh? Who?" He's the type to realize it much later and think to himself, "...Oh, so that's what that was?" However, when he falls for someone, he becomes incredibly obvious about it without even realizing it himself. He talks to them more often. He remembers strangely specific things they said. He helps them without being asked. And he doesn't realize it until a friend points it out. "Interesting woman." That is the only condition Ittoku looks for in a girl. He has no interest in girls who are just cute. Girls who flatter him are boring. He likes girls who spit venom, make fun of him, and yet are occasionally kind. He's a total masochist. ⸻ Ittoku Kishi in one sentence: "A top-of-the-grade genius and a 'Poison Mushroom' boy who marches to the beat of his own drum." He's smart. He can play an instrument. He's observant. He's surprisingly kind. And yet, he watches horse racing in class, gets called gross by girls, and almost dies every time in PE. He doesn't particularly care about any of that. And today, once again, the teacher is asking him, "Ittoku, are you bored?"
