Calm | Soft-spoken | Helpful | Dreamy | Quiet
When people first meeting Mikaze, the first impression of him that they usually get is that he emits a calm, peaceful aura. Well, it's true. Much to the contrary with his best friend's brash and lousy characteristics, Mikaze always retain a certain amount of calmness and always keep his head cool no matter how serious the situation is. He hardly ever loses his temper and will always deal with things in the most reasonable ways possible. Mikaze doesn't have the slightest hint of violence in his nature and although he's not a coward, he just couldn't stand the thought of hurting someone with brute force even if they've insulted or bullied him.
Mikaze can ease the most intense of situations with his natural soft-spoken trait. Whenever people are having conflicts or divergences with each other, if he is around, he will help them to resolve their problems in a civilian way. And although Mikaze isn't very good with many things, he'll always be there and assist his friends should they have some troubles with what they were doing, without even considering of being repay. These are what make him a reliable person in many people's eyes.
There are certain of times that he did feel that the reality is just way too harsh, which is why, Mikaze proves himself to be a rather dreamy boy. He has an imaginative mind and his dreams can be a bit too colorful and unrealistic. But that just how he is and no one could really make him change. Mikaze doesn't talk much with anyone if there isn't anything that is necessary or interesting, except for Hitoshi. Most of the time when he isn't with his best friend, he'll just sit in a corner and wandering in his own world without a care in the world.
Overall, Mikaze might acted as someone who always needed to be protected, but deep down inside, his inner vigor and determination isn't something that will be defeated easily. Although he is not very active, should the need rises, Mikaze will become a reliable and trustworthy person who won't be afraid to step up for himself and his friends.
- Poking || This is Mikaze's way in order to get attentions from the others. He usually poke their arms or shoulders or back. Though with Hitoshi, he can went all the way and poke his cheeks. For some reasons, Mikaze felt that his best buddy was cuter that way.
- Twirling his hair || Mikaze usually twirled some strands of his hair whenever he's focusing in doing homework. This habit of his were often remarked by the others as 'not very manly', but Mikaze didn't really care though.
- Gazing out of windows || Whenever Mikaze is bored, he has a tendency to gaze outside the windows and daydreaming while watching the clouds drifting by. There's somethings about it makes Mikaze felt relaxing and forget about his current boredom.
- Reading || Mikaze likes to read a lot and at times people can spotted that he often sat next to a stack of books. There are many genres of book that Mikaze interested in, ranges from historical and literature ones to novels and manga.
- Listening to music || He can listen to it almost anytime, anywhere possible. Whether it is listening to his own MP3 player or Hitoshi playing his violin, they're all just so addictive to him.
- Baking || Once every two weeks, Mikaze usually bought some ingredients and made some sorts of cake. He's already a good cook to begin with, so this isn't a problem to him. The first person he would call over to taste some of his cakes was, obviously, Hitoshi, knowing of his best friend sweet tooth.
- Cycling || The only form of exercise that Mikaze would take frequently. He often ride his bike for about half an hour from his apartment to a nearby district in the afternoon. The feeling of the breeze blowing through his hair is truly pleasant. He doesn't have to cycle to school since it isn't very far though.
- Manga and anime || Mikaze has quite a collection of manga and weekly magazines as he has a whole shelf to store them all. Though only Hitoshi knows about the fact that he also had some materials-not-suitable-for-children hiding in a box under his bed. Laying on the bed and watching anime all day on his laptop is also a great way to kill time should he doesn't have anything to do.
- Yogurt || Mikaze doesn't know why, it just that he's always been a yogurt fan ever since he was a boy up until now. To him, it's the best kind of food in the world and its taste is heavenly. His refrigerator is packed with yogurts packets.
- Quietness || Of course, Mikaze is not a very active person and noises alike hurt his head a lot. Which is why, he enjoys places where there are a certain amount of tranquility and peacefulness and that he can concentrate in what he was doing without being distracted.
- Bullies || Not someone who would choose violence as a resort, Mikaze really hold a dislike for people who think they have the rights to pick on people whenever they want - with the exception of Hitoshi, of course.
- Rock music || Needless to say, this genre of 'music' is just way too loud and deafening. In Mikaze's point of view, music was meant to be relaxing, not a way to express your hatred and lust.
- Arguments || Having to listen people yelling at each other while throwing all sorts of bad words irks him to no end. Mikaze prefers to resolve everything in a civilian ways.
- Seafood || Mikaze is allergic to seafood and it's not a pleasant feeling should he ever accidentally eat some so it is best for him to stay far away from it. Its taste is not that delicious to him, anyway.
- Cooking || Mikaze has learnt how to cook when he was only 10. He really has a knack for it and his foods were praised by his classmates all the time. He often made bento boxes for himself and Hitoshi, again, knowing how bad he is with this.
- Medical knowledge || First-aids knowledge and some medical treatments are something that Mikaze is quite well-versed with. Thanks to it, he often lend some assistance for the nurse office. But mostly, he'll just patch Hitoshi up every time he's just went back from a fight.
- Violin || Mikaze has taken up the instrument at a young age and he plays it well. He - along with Hitoshi - are considered as the stars of the Music Club due to their skills with their specific instruments.
- Literature || It's a subject that he got the highest mark at school. Thanks to his constantly daydreaming every time he's bored, his imagination is quite wide and broad.
- Lack of strength || Again, due to the painful fact that he isn't a sporty guy at heart, Mikaze isn't strong at all if compared to other guys in his class. Due to this, he was often being picked on back in Junior High.
- Musophobia || In Mikaze's eyes, rats and mice are the worst abomination in existence. He and them just don't get along with each other at all. Even a hamster is enough to make him jump already so it is best not using them to play pranks on him or he'll really faint for sure.
- Flustering || Mikaze is actually quite sensitive to touches. He has many weak spots on his body and would get really flustered and embarrassed should anyone touch him or hug him. The same will also happen if he saw a nice-looking guy or just simply watching Hitoshi getting half-naked. And yeah, he is aware that he has quite a dirty mind already so don't nag him about it.
- Cute things || Adorable things like fluffy animals or flush toys are a weakness in Mikaze's heart. He almost late for class once just because he happened to come across with a cute puppy on the street and was too busy petting it that he just forgot his surroundings.
When Mikaze was only a small child, he once has hoped that his life can be as normal like any other kids with a whole family taking care and protected him from all the misery in this world. He craves for it so much that it actually came into his dreams as he sleep. But, he knows that such wishes will never come true again no matter how much he yearned and prayed for it to happen. Originally, Mikaze was the only son, who was born in a wealthy family, who owns one of the biggest incorporation in Sapporo. After the birth of Mikaze, his mother become infertile, which makes her unable to bear any other children. Nonetheless, as their son, Mikaze was loved by their parents and he grew up innocently. But, the life in which he can still be able to held his head high soon met its end when Mikaze reached the age of 5...
It was a memory that Mikaze could never have ever forgotten in his life. The news that his father has passed away at the age of 49 in a car accident struck Mikaze like a train. Such sudden loss is just too much for a small boy like him to handle. He can only clung to his mother at his father's funeral while crying his heart out. Decided not to rely on her late husband's reputation and inheritance, Mikaze's mother took her part of the shares that her husband left and moved out of their mansion. She left the incorporation for her brothers - their only relatives left to take care of while moving to Tokyo and began to raise Mikaze all by herself.
After moving to Tokyo, Mikaze attended primary school and a whole new life of his is also began. His mother encouraged him to take up playing an instrument, in which he chooses violin and has learnt to play it ever since then. There isn't a single day that he doesn't missed his father, or the times that they used to spend together when he's still alive. However, because he has never been a strong boy, both physically and mentally, he was often being bullied by older kids and distant himself from everyone. They often taunted him as a 'weak, dadless insolent ninny' and he was greatly bothered by it. But, being a kid who never resorted to violence, Mikaze can only endured whenever he is being bullied. He once has thought that he will be lonely and detested like that forever, but then, another person came into his life and changed everything.
One day, when Mikaze was 10, he was headed back home from school like usual, then suddenly some older upperclassmen who were delinquents at his school approached and pick on him. He was ready to endure whatever they got to thrash on him. Then unexpectedly, a boy named Hitoshi who is around his age appeared and got into a fight with the ones who picked on Mikaze, saving him. And ever since then, they got to know each other more and become best of friends, never do anything without each other. Since Hitoshi is also a notorious delinquent, not many other would dare to bully Mikaze anymore and finally, he was able to be at peace with his best friend by his side.
Even though Hitoshi and Mikaze were seemingly the polar opposite of each other, it is the difference between them that has brought them together. When Mikaze found out that his best friend was a pianist and that he wanted to become his accompanist, he was opened to the idea and did whatever he could to encourage him. Mikaze is also one of the few people who knows of his career and would always keeping it as a secret for Hitoshi's sake. They would play together a lot one several competitions.
When Mikaze enrolled high school, he came to the realization that he was gay and has been keeping it a secret from everyone, with the exception of Hitoshi. This is also the time when he notices that he has been developing feelings towards his best friend. Though understand him well, and unknowingly that his best friend also harbors feeling for him too, a part of Mikaze was afraid that their relationship will no longer be the same should he ever confessed. Which is why, Mikaze tried to date another boy who was one of his seniors.
The two of them went out for half a year and those times were memorable moments for Mikaze, as this is the first time he has ever going out with someone. He was happy and treasures his boyfriend a lot. Yet for some reasons that even he couldn't figure out, he can't bring himself to be completely devoted to him. Whenever he is with him, the image of Hitoshi keeps popping up in his mind. Then eventually, the senior broke up with Mikaze since 'his heart only thinks of another person rather than him'. He was sad at first that his relationship didn't turn out like how he imagined it to be, but he was willing to let go of his hands so that he can truly be able to find the one who was meant to be for him.
And then, it came the arrival of what's known as the 'Matchmaker Association' - an organization that helps people find who their perfect match is. Mikaze soon heard about its popularity for almost never wrong in matching people. Determined to find out whether if there's still another person for him out there, he decided to enroll the Association's program, with the encouragement of his mother. He was surprised at first that Hitoshi is also a participant in this program, but then wishes that the best will come for both of them, unknowingly that the reason Hitoshi joined was him all along.
