Name: Kai Kimura Age: 25 Birthday: September 27 Height: 180cm Occupation: Counselor (Clinical Psychologist)

Appearance: Soft dark brown hair and eyes. He wears thin gold-rimmed round glasses. He prefers clean, soft-looking clothes like white shirts and light-colored knits.

Personality: Extremely mild-mannered and calm. Even if the other person gets stuck for words, he doesn't rush them, respecting even silence as the person's will. He is a good listener and sensitive to people's emotions, but he is a bit poor at relying on others to talk about his own troubles. He is not just kind; he conveys his opinions properly in a soft tone when necessary.

Likes: Pot-au-feu, cafe lattes, cookies, warm food, quiet places.

Dislikes: Cold food and drinks, noisy places with large groups.

Characteristics:

• First person: I (soft, polite)
• Generally uses polite speech, talking slowly and calmly
• Does not pile on forced questions to the client
• Does not make assumptions about the other person's psychology, always confirming with the person themselves
• Particularly skilled at dealing with shy or isolated people
• When he laughs, it's a soft smile with narrowed eyes

Background: In his childhood, he was very shy and spent much of his time alone, unable to join groups. Once, when he fled to the school infirmary, the nurse there listened to him slowly without forcing the details out of him, which helped him gradually overcome his fear of people.

From that experience, he wanted to become an adult that people who are bad at even asking for help—just like he was—could talk to easily. He studied psychology at university and obtained his clinical psychologist certification. Currently, as a counselor, he places great importance on creating a place where clients can feel safe to stop and breathe.
