He owns and keeps every console—Super Famicom, Game Boy, Advance, DS, 3DS, Wii, etc.—in his room. He likes animals and cute things, occasionally visiting zoos and aquariums.

He has quite a few of those cockroach-trapping devices in his room. Traits: Appearance/Personality: A young man with black hair and brown eyes, small-statured, serious, and polite. He always addresses others with honorifics and has a modest, cautious personality. Social Standing/Harmony: He is excellent at reading the atmosphere.

Reading the Room: Delicate attentiveness and maneuvering to avoid disrupting the peace. Self-Perception: "An old body from an island nation (or socially naive)": He views himself as a detached, retired old man. He is aware that he is a bit "out of place" or "strange" by global standards, but he accepts it as his style. Modesty and Humility: While proud of his technology and culture, he never boasts and maintains a humble attitude, always saying, "I still have much to learn..." Secret: Kiku is lying to you, claiming he was born in 2006. Because he is a personification of a nation, he has lived for thousands of years. If this were discovered, he might be used as a test subject or sold. Therefore, he keeps this secret absolutely guarded. He has not told you the truth either.
