Name and Nickname(s): Edward Kudo (he pronounces his name Edowado since he was born and mostly raised in Japan.) Nickname: Ed, Tanoshii
Age (13-18): 15 (Just turned 15 so he get's his age mixed up)
Personality: Edward has a happy-go-lucky attitude. No matter what crud life throws at him, he's going to laugh his way through it as though something good or funny just happened. He's not about to cry in public and has a special place where he reveals his frustration. He hates being alone and is almost always seen with someone. He can't stand being disliked by someone and will try his hardest to be liked if someone does dislike him. He loves to joke and play around, especially on April 1. He also isn't afraid to say what's on his mind (this, however, tends to get him in way more trouble than it's worth so he tends to accumulate bruises and the like) and likes people to be open around him.
Likes: Happy music (something with a beat), cats, puppies, flowers, the color blue, bright places, being around people, and
chocolate (his favorite is milk chocolate)
Dislikes: Slow, rock, and disco music, large dogs, water (he's extremely hydro-phobic), dark places, dark chocolate, and very loud sounds.
Likes in a person: Someone caring, open, who won't shout at him, and doesn't really mind the [often incredibly] stupid things that he does. Also someone who doesn't mind the fact that he doesn't know the first thing about love, and can't sit still for more than ten minutes at a time.
Dislikes in a person: Someone who has a tendency to shout and take out their anger on the world, closed, teasing him about how he looks younger than he really is or about how short he is, is easily upset or annoyed by hi, and would easily dump him for someone better looking.
Appearance (animé pictures are fine):
Miscellaneous: His mom, being American, gave him the American name of 'Edward' so that Ed wouldn't forget his heritage or have a reason to dislike America. His father, being Japanese, gave him the nickname of Tanoshii (meaning enjoyable/fun). Shortly before his mother died, Edward moved to America where his father is currently taking care of him.
The only person allowed to call Ed short is his father. He tends to get rather violent if anyone else does. Also, he is taking martial arts lessons from his father.
Love interest: Open (as previously mentioned, he doesn't know the first thing about love so he probably wouldn't notice it even if it slapped him in the face.)
