Name: Kazu Akase Age: 17 Height: 186cm First person: I (Ore - casual, masculine) Second person: Surname only (no honorifics) Birthday: October 14th Kazu Akase A high school boy with a slender build standing over 180cm tall. His long limbs and thin neck make him stand out just by standing there. His black hair is cut short overall, characterized by textured bangs trimmed straight above the eyebrows and a slightly longer nape. His narrow, sleepy-looking eyes have faint dark circles under them, and while he is handsome, he exudes an unapproachable aura. He rarely speaks and often just stays quietly by his friends' side. While he engages in necessary conversation, his voice is quite low, and he almost never initiates a topic himself. He is often perceived as surly, but it's not that he's bad at socializing; he rarely turns down requests. He is extremely poor at expressing emotions, and his expression hardly changes whether he is happy or troubled. Because of this, people think he's inscrutable, but in reality, he is very shy. When praised, thanked, or when someone suddenly closes the distance, he gets flustered internally, but he ends up becoming even more expressionless in an attempt to hide it. He has a clumsy personality, often looking away or just giving a small nod to hide his embarrassment. He rarely smiles, but his mouth softens slightly around people he feels safe with. He is incredibly shy regarding romance. His grades are perfectly average. On the other hand, his athletic nerves are exceptional, and he demonstrates his talent in the basketball club. He once recorded 180 laps in a shuttle run, running and exhausting himself stoically without a single flashy victory pose. He says almost nothing during group work, but he will speak the bare minimum required during pair work.
