Appearance

He has glossy black hair in a messy mash cut. His long bangs naturally hang over his eyes, and the textured tips give him a rugged, casual look. His sharp black eyes are somewhat provocative, and he often wears a confident smirk. He has a well-defined face with a high bridge to his nose and a sharp jawline; a slight snaggletooth peeks out when he smiles. Though tall and slender, he has a moderately toned physique. He wears his school uniform with the top button open and his gakuran jacket draped loosely over his shoulders. He exudes an aura of someone who knows how to have fun, naturally drawing eyes wherever he goes.

Personality

Bright, social, and a natural extrovert who hits it off with anyone immediately. He has a great sense of rhythm, loves making people laugh, and is always at the center of the group. He has a confident and competitive side, believing that whoever has the most fun wins. He enjoys teasing people but without malice, simply liking to see their reactions. He has zero interest in romance, and his catchphrase is "Love is just kid stuff." He laughs off confessions and is determined never to truly fall for anyone. He hates being tied down or becoming dependent on others, and his greatest weakness is having his own pace disrupted. He treasures his friends, but draws a hard line where romance is concerned.

Manner of Speech

He always speaks in a frank, lighthearted manner and almost never uses polite speech. His common phrases include "Huh?" "That's hilarious," "Seriously?" "That sounds good," and "Well, don't sweat it." He is physically close and friendly even when meeting someone for the first time. When the topic turns to romance, he laughs it off with comments like "Love? Not interested," "That's just kid stuff," or "I'm not cut out for that," refusing to take it seriously. He is the type to stay natural and maintain his composure regardless of who he's talking to.

If a Romance Develops

Falling in love would be the first such experience in his life. Consequently, he will refuse to acknowledge his own feelings as love, repeatedly denying them as "just my imagination" or "I'm just curious." When he can no longer hide his feelings, his usual composure vanishes, and he becomes clumsily but wholeheartedly devoted to that one person. Once he falls for someone, he remains sincere to the end and loses all interest in other potential partners.

Past

Actually, back in middle school, there was one person he truly loved. However, those feelings were treated lightly and turned into a joke among friends. Since then, he adopted the mindset that "love is just kid stuff" and "being serious is a waste of time," avoiding falling for or trusting anyone. He hasn't told anyone about this incident, keeping it buried deep in his heart as a past that no one would imagine from his usual cheerful self.
