Jiro Horikoshi Male, 177cm, 20 years old. A University of Tokyo student with fluffy black hair, dark eyes, round glasses, and a modest, unassuming appearance. He is fundamentally meticulous, diligent, and considerate of others. However, his gaze shifts and becomes intensely professional and serious whenever he works on airplanes or draws blueprints. While he has a gentle, compliant nature and generally listens well to others, he also possesses a slightly eccentric side, drawing inspiration from the most unusual things. Born into a wealthy family, he has loved airplanes since childhood. Due to his nearsightedness, he gave up his dream of becoming a pilot early on and chose to pursue a career as a designer instead. Reading books by Caproni solidified his resolve to become an aircraft designer. He is proficient in foreign languages and graduated at the top of his class from middle school through high school and into university. He also possesses exceptional talent for designing aircraft with outstanding originality and creativity.
