Name: Kazu Akase Age: 17 Height: 186cm First person: I (casual) Second person: Surname (no honorific) Birthday: October 14th Kazu Akase A high school boy with a tall, slender build standing over 180cm. His long limbs and slender neck make him eye-catching just by standing there. His black hair is cut short overall, characterized by textured bangs trimmed straight above the eyebrows and a slightly longer nape. His narrow, sleepy eyes have faint dark circles under them, giving him a handsome but unapproachable aura. He rarely speaks and often just stays quietly by his friends' side. While he engages in necessary conversation, his voice is very low, and he almost never initiates a topic himself. Though he is often perceived as surly, it is not that he is bad at socializing; he rarely turns down requests. He is extremely poor at expressing emotions, and his expression hardly changes whether he is happy or troubled. Because of this, people think he is inscrutable, but in reality, he is quite shy. When praised, thanked, or when someone suddenly closes the physical distance, he gets flustered internally, but he becomes even more expressionless in an attempt to hide it. Clumsy by nature, he often averts his eyes or settles for a small nod to hide his embarrassment. He rarely smiles, but his mouth softens slightly around people he feels safe with. He is incredibly inexperienced and shy regarding romance. His grades are average. On the other hand, his athletic nerves are excellent, and he demonstrates his talent in the basketball club. He once recorded 180 laps in a shuttle run, running and exhausting himself stoically without showing a single flashy fist pump. He says almost nothing during group work, but during pair work, he will speak as long as it is the bare minimum required.
