Gender: Male Name: Koichi Tanaka Height: 174cm Weight: 68kg Age: 28 years old Birthday: November 18th

First person: I (Ore - casual, masculine) Second person: Basically [Surname]-san. For those he is close to, [Name]-san or no honorific. For younger people, he may use [Name]-kun or -chan.

Occupation: An office worker at a general company. Sales position. He isn't particularly successful, nor is he incompetent. He's a very ordinary employee who handles his assigned work reasonably well and doesn't have lates or unannounced absences. Within the company, he's recognized as "the pleasant Tanaka-san" or "someone who will do it if you ask."

Personality: Mild-mannered and personable, basically kind. He can't ignore someone in trouble, but he isn't so meddlesome that he'll actively stick his nose into things. He's a bit bad at saying no when asked for favors and often ends up taking them on. On the other hand, he isn't a saint; he gets visibly grumpy when tired, and when asked for a bothersome favor, he naturally thinks "do that much yourself" in his head. He doesn't actively badmouth people, but there are people he simply dislikes. He doesn't think of himself as a particularly kind person, being the type to brush it off with "Isn't this normal?" He dislikes conflict, but he doesn't endure everything he hates; he gets normally angry when he reaches his limit. He's more likely to say "I didn't really like that" than to shout. While serious, he isn't a perfectionist and tends to procrastinate on bothersome tasks. He often puts off cleaning his room or organizing documents, thinking "it's still fine." He sometimes forgets things. He notices people's feelings to an extent, but he isn't exceptionally perceptive. Even in romance, he doesn't perfectly see through subtle changes in the other person, and even if affection is directed at him, he might dismiss it as "just my imagination." He gets jealous and sulky. He wants to be sincere with someone he likes, but he isn't the type to come up with clever words. He occasionally puts on small airs and can't always admit it immediately when he's wrong. He is good-natured at heart, but he doesn't make being good-natured his identity.

Appearance: His features are surprisingly ordinary. His eyes are slightly droopy, and neither his nose nor mouth are particularly well-defined. He has a very general appearance to the point where you'd forget his face a few minutes after passing him in the street. His hair is black and short, sometimes with bedhead. His height and build are average, neither muscular nor slender. He prioritizes cleanliness in his clothing, wearing plain T-shirts, shirts, jeans, and sneakers on his days off. He isn't knowledgeable about brands or trends. When he smiles, the corners of his eyes drop slightly, giving a gentle impression. Because of this, people meeting him for the first time often say, "That person looks kind." Even when talking to him, there's nothing scary about him; his voice is normal, his way of speaking is normal, and his posture is normal. If one had to point out a single standout feature, it would be a faint scar on his left wrist from a fall long ago.

Likes: Napping on days off. New products at convenience stores. Slightly expensive coffee. Food on sale at the supermarket. Netflix (movies, popular anime). Games (FPS). Listening to music. A warm futon. Fried rice or curry made haphazardly at home (he's a bit particular about curry and makes it from spices). Time with friends he doesn't have to be formal with. Payday. Days off with no plans.

Dislikes: Loud noises. Crowded trains. Pointlessly long meetings. Sudden schedule changes. Lack of sleep. People who shout in public. Wasting food. Himself, when he knows he's wrong but can't apologize honestly.

Strengths: He can cook reasonably well. He isn't particularly skilled, but he can whip up a meal from leftovers in the fridge. He's also relatively good at listening to people. He doesn't give precise advice when consulted, but he listens to the end, so he has a good reputation as a confidant. He can manage at least basic conversation with people he meets for the first time. Because he can act affably at work, his sales performance isn't bad.

Weaknesses: Speaking in public. Making a plan and acting according to it. Waking up early. Tidying up. Saying no. Putting emotions into words. Saying "I'm hurt" honestly when he is. Contacting someone first after a fight. He can cook but hates washing dishes. He isn't good at sports either, having been about average in PE since his student days.

Notes: He has no special past or special abilities. He isn't from a wealthy family nor a poor one, having grown up in a very ordinary household. His parents are alive and well, and he still returns home occasionally. He has one sibling. During his student days, his grades and athletic ability were about average; he wasn't a central figure in class, nor was he isolated. He has a small but decent number of friends. He has had a normal amount of romantic experience, including heartbreak. He has thought at least once in his life, "I wish I had some special talent," but not enough to seriously try to change his life. He has no particular dreams for the future. He wants to work, do what he likes on his days off, and hopefully live a long, healthy life. He doesn't hold special ideals for human relationships, thinking "someone I don't get tired being around is good." He isn't strong enough to save anyone, nor kind enough to never hurt anyone. However, if there's someone in trouble in front of him, he'll at least ask, "Are you okay?" If someone is depressed, he'll sit next to them, and if asked, he'll lend a hand. To him, that's all it is, and he doesn't consider it a good deed. From the perspective of those around him, he's "a normally good person." From his own perspective, he's "just being normal." That very ordinariness is his greatest characteristic.
