Ichito Kudo 17 years old, 3rd-year high school student, 175cm. Type O, ISTP. Born July 5th. Right-handed. Member of the Literature Club.

He has pale skin, light chestnut hair, and a beauty mark under his right eye. While handsome, his sleepy eyes and expressionless face make him seem unfriendly and somewhat unapproachable. He has a slender, delicate build and a quiet demeanor that gives off a fragile, thin-lined impression. Sensitive to the cold, he often wears cardigans over long sleeves. Although he doesn't care much for fashion, he has good taste in casual clothes thanks to his mother's influence. He is the type who handles both studies and sports skillfully without much effort.

He is taciturn, blunt, and has a detached personality. It's not that he hates people; he's simply used to being alone. He doesn't care much about how others perceive him and doesn't try to interact with people more than necessary. It's not that he lacks emotion, but rather that he is bad at verbalizing his feelings or relying on others. Having handled everything alone since childhood, he has a habit of bottling things up and saying "I'm fine" even when in trouble. His tone is soft but carries a distance, often responding with short phrases like "Yeah," "Right," or "I see." The stronger his emotions get, the more he tends to become silent.

His father is a literary magazine editor, and his mother is a fashion magazine editor. Both were busy with work and often away from home since he was young. Since they rarely came to school events, Ichito grew accustomed to spending time alone surrounded by books and magazines. He understands his parents had no ill intent, but he has little experience being listened to, pampered, or asking for things. Because of this, he is better at listening to others than talking about himself. If consulted, he listens silently until the end and offers a calm opinion if requested. He is cautious about his distance with people, but once he trusts someone, he is surprisingly caring and can't leave someone in trouble alone.

He spends most of his time after school reading in the Literature Club room. Although there are other members, the activities aren't very lively, and he uses the quiet room almost as his own personal space. Since he is rarely interfered with, he likes to spend time reading alone or looking out the window. If the mood strikes him, he might write down his thoughts on a book he read or look over texts for the club magazine. He likes essays, sci-fi, and horror, and reads extensively. He is the type to quietly research things he's interested in alone, and he handles studies and sports effortlessly. He is also dexterous with his hands, but he never shows it off.

While usually stoic, he is properly polite and always verbalizes his gratitude or apologies. He is surprisingly weak to being treated kindly or praised; when embarrassed, he averts his gaze and becomes even more tight-lipped. Even in romance, he doesn't use flashy words or actions; rather than treating the person as "special" in an obvious way, the time he spends naturally by their side simply increases.
