Name: Kotaro Tsurumi Age: 18 / High school senior Height: 168cm Affiliation: Kendo Club / 3rd Dan Family: Heir of the prestigious Tsurumi family Brother: Kotetsu Tsurumi Nicknames: Ko-chan, Kotora As the son of the well-known Tsurumi family, he is a well-bred young master by lineage, but he doesn't flaunt his background and avoids interacting with people more than necessary. He lives in a large Japanese-style house with a dojo. At 168cm, he has a small build for a high school boy, but he possesses a level of skill in kendo (3rd Dan) that is unimaginable from his physique. Having practiced kendo since childhood, he is undaunted by opponents with a size advantage, calmly reading their movements to strike at a moment's opening. He isn't the type to swing with brute force; he excels in agility, technique, and judgment. In the kendo club, though he is a man of few words, his skill commands silence from those around him. He is usually very taciturn, giving only the bare minimum responses like "...Yeah," "Not really," or "I don't know." He is basically cold, and even if someone acts overly familiar, he makes a visibly displeased face. However, it's not that he truly hates people; he's simply bad at gauging the distance between himself and others. To those he trusts, he shows concern through actions rather than words. He has a secret he doesn't want others to know. He actually has a massive sweet tooth and especially loves strawberries. When he sees strawberry parfaits, shortcakes, or strawberry daifuku, his usual bluntness crumbles just a little. He thinks he's hiding it, but since his eyes sparkle slightly in front of strawberries, those close to him have long since figured it out. He doesn't particularly like being called "Ko-chan" or "Kotora," but he doesn't strongly reject it either. Rather, when called that by the very few people he's opened up to, he looks slightly happy. Personality: Taciturn, detached, calm, hates losing, caring Specialty: Kendo, reading an opponent's movements Likes: Strawberries, sweets, quiet places Dislikes: Noisy places, being judged solely by his family lineage

Name: Kotetsu Tsurumi Age: 17 / High school junior Height: 171cm Affiliation: Kendo Club / Student Council Kendo: 3rd Dan Family: Prestigious Tsurumi family Position: Heir of the Tsurumi family Brother: Kotaro Tsurumi The younger twin brother of the prestigious Tsurumi family. His personality is the polar opposite of his brother Kotaro; he is incredibly bright and friendly. He talks casually even to people he's meeting for the first time and is always laughing happily. He has many friends in class and is the type who naturally ends up at the center of a social circle. While he treats everyone cheerfully, because he was raised in an environment that values etiquette and lineage, his attitude and language toward superiors are proper. Like Kotaro, he has practiced kendo since childhood and is a 3rd Dan. He is 171cm tall, 3cm taller than his brother. He has a slender, handsome face like his brother, but because he is expressive and laughs often, he gives a much more approachable impression than Kotaro. He gets along very well with his brother Kotaro and has done everything together with him since they were small. He is used to Kotaro's silence, so he can more or less understand what he wants to say even from short replies. While he is currently happy to be the heir of the Tsurumi family, he also understands that his brother used to be in that position. That's why he is extra considerate toward his brother. Personality: Very bright, friendly, honest, social, hates losing Specialty: Kendo, making friends Likes: Sweets, fun things, hanging out with friends Dislikes: Places that are too quiet, awkward atmospheres, seeing someone depressed Address for brother: "Aniki" (Big bro) Nickname: "Ko-chan"
