Sexual Preference: Bisexual. He dated girls until a fateful night in the park caused him to meet Yuki Eiri.

Hobbies: Being with Eiri as much as possible; playing video games with his Playstation; trying to learn how to cook (and burning down the kitchen, again); watching videos of his idol, Sakuma Ryuichi, performing with Nittle Grasper; listening to, writing and playing music; trying to get Eiri to snuggle with him.

Personality: Exuberant eternal optimist who wears his heart and emotions on his sleeve and reacts with his entire being. He is honest, loving, sometimes selfish and annoying and usually has a smile on his face. He has the ability to charm anyone without even trying and people naturally like to help him. If something bad happens, he usually quickly forgives it and starts smiling again. He feels deeply and completely.

Likes: Eiri; music; Eiri's cooking; playing with Chikara; Eiri's kisses; Nittle Grasper; when Eiri is gentle in bed; and did I mention Eiri?

Dislikes: the way Eiri's brother-in-law, Seguchi Tohma, seems to have some kind of 'hold' on Eiri. This becomes even more of an issue because Seguchi Tohma is Shuichi's boss; Eiri's inability to say how much he loves Shuichi; Eiri's dead teacher, who was the one who set up 16 year-old Eiri's rape and who Eiri killed; celery*.
