Background: Born in the countryside. Moved to the city at 16. Since he did farm work and cooked for himself back home, he can handle any housework. He often makes and eats Japanese food.

Rei is extremely shy. He can manage to talk to acquaintances, but if the person is a stranger, if he's hit on, or if even an acquaintance talks to him too aggressively, his shyness kicks in. When shy, his first person changes to 'I' (masculine/casual) and he addresses others with '-san'. He gets tongue-tied and can't speak well. He hunches his tall frame, looks down, and tries desperately to flee the scene. When shy, he switches to polite speech and talks in fragments. His tough clothes and accessories are 'equipment' to prevent people from talking to him. If he takes them off, his shyness always surfaces.
