Komatta High School - Let The War's Begin! (OOC/OPEN)

Plot

Six families from the U.S have been relocated to the Akasaka Press Center Military Base in Tokyo, Japan. The men and woman relocated have nothing special in common, except for the fact they work together – and that they all seem to have children with emotional issues and troubled backgrounds. Growing up among temporary homes, these military brats have all rebelled in some way. Whether they got into trouble with the law, drugs or just simply took on a nasty attitude, their parents have had enough! Why send these stuck-up troublemaking brats to a reform school when these fed up parents have the answer right in front of them – send their children to a Japanese High School, where they can learn the respect they shoved back in their parent’s faces.

The details of this plan were cut short, however, because almost all the high school’s in the Akasaka and Roppongi district rejected their admission papers, because of their past school transcripts, violent backgrounds and police records for juvenile offences. The High School of International Learning in Tokyo wouldn’t even accept them. Feigning disappointment over the multiple rejections, these kids, in actuality, couldn’t have been happier – they’d just have to be home schooled, giving them open chances to have some fun! Of course, their fathers and/or mother’s being in the military and having various connections found them a school out of desperation at the last minute.

Living in Akasaka, a residential and commercial district of Minato, Tokyo, they managed to find a senior school in Shibuya, which was a 5-10 minuet train ride from Akasaka station. After being tested and accepted, these young student Gaijin’s (meaning outsiders, foreigners) found themselves enrolled into Komatta Kootoo Gakkoo, (literally meaning Troublesome Senior High School), or, simply, Komatta Senior High. A place where the below average, troubled, or students who were just plainly rejected from their first High School choices, find their last ray of hope.

Living in a society of respect and convenience is stressful enough, but with the language barrier and culture shock, these kids will have no time to cause trouble – which is exactly what their parents had hoped for. As if the raised bar for a peaceful graduation from their teachers and parents weren’t enough, these brat’s just had to walk into Komatta on their first day with an ego and bad attitude towards their own classmates, raising the bar just that little bit higher. Now, not only do they have to watch their steps with their behaviour, they also have to redeem themselves to their classmates, who have it out to make these egotistical baka’s see themselves for what they really are – ill mannered bad-ass wannabe’s.

With graduation still a year away, and the craving for a smoke and drink while skipping class getting to be too much to bare, can they really show their parents that they can be good, wholesome students? Can they really go back to America with a clean slate and a new lease on life?

Their response? “Hell no! But we can pretend...”

Explanation

Alright, so I spent a month in Tokyo, Japan while my dad was working there, and I found it absolutely amazing. As soon as I came back to my home country this idea popped into my head, because even though I had gotten a bit of a grasp on the language and culture, I never really knew what school life would be like there. I also know a lot of you, even just a little, wish to visit and go to school in Japan – even if you only had a brief thought about it. Anyway, there are no restrictions on characters or certain numbers of female of male characters you can make. I’m sure if you see there are five female characters, a male character is needed and so on.

Komatta Senior High School
(Komatta Kootoo Gakko)

A school that isn’t very selective with their students. Because of the inconvenient location and lack of school funds, this school is really just a last life line for students who hadn’t gotten into their first school of choice. It is also a ‘holding-pen’ for the troublemaker’s no other school in the district wishes to take on, for fear that they’ll get a bad reputation and/or their school’s student ratio of success will decrease. Located in the middle of Shibuya, it certainly does have a depressing atmosphere to it and most days, you’ll see students skipping classes and teachers walking back and forth towards the school gates, contemplating whether to walk in or not.

Language

When posting in Japanese, there are two ways you can do this. The first way is, if you can speak a little Japanese, or even a phrase, post the phrase and then, in brackets, post what it says in English with an italic font.

Example #1:

She smiled. “Doumo arigatou gouzaimasu!” (Thank you very much!) and bowed.

Or, the second way is that you can use English words, but just type them using italics.

Example #2:

She smiled. “Thank you very much!” and bowed.

So, there are your two options. Also, when talking in English, remember to just use normal font, like when talking in Japanese, except with Japanese, you’re adding the English meaning after with italics.

Handy Japanese Phrases

Here are some phrases that helped me in Japan – basically, they’re survival words.

Arigatou gouzaimasu! – This means, thank you very much, but without the doumo, making it a little less formal. If you want to be really polite, add doumo to the beginning of that sentence. When being casual, just use arigatou.

Sumimasen – This is a really handy word. It means, excuse me, pardon me, or sorry. The last use, saying sorry using sumimasen, is using it really casually. When being polite or formal with an apology, use gomenasai, or gomen.

Ohayoo gouzaimasu – Hello, good morning. A phrase used in the morning to greet someone.

Konnichiwa – Hello, good evening. Used to greet someone in the afternoons. You can also use konbanwa as a more casual way of saying, hello, good afternoon.

Moshi Moshi – Used when answering the phone.

Minasan konnichiwa – Hello everyone.

Yaa! – Hi!

Youkoso irasshai mashita – Welcome! (to greet someone)

Ogenki desuka? – How are you?

Watashi wa genki desu. Arigato! Anatawa?– I’m fine. Thanks! And you? Basically a reply to, ogenki desuka? How are you? But if you are just saying, I’m fine, remove the Anatawa at the end.

Dou itashi mashite – You’re welcome! (If someone’s thanking you with Arigatou)

Oyasumi nasai – Good night.

Ja ne mattane – See you later.

Sayonara – Goodbye, if you don’t expect to see that person again that day.

Honorifics

Chan

Chan (ちゃん?) is a diminutive suffix; it expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. Thus, using chan with a superior's name would be condescending and rude. In general, chan is used for babies, young children, and teenage girls. It may also be used towards cute animals, lovers, close friends, or any youthful woman.

Although traditionally honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women adopt the childish affectation of referring to themselves in the third person using chan. For example, a young woman named Kanako might call herself Kanako-chan rather than using a first person pronoun.

Kun

Kun (君 in Kanji ?, くん in Hiragana) is used by persons of senior status in addressing or referring to those of junior status, or by anyone when addressing or referring to male children or male teenagers. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to or have known for a long period of time. Although kun is generally used for boys, that isn't a hard rule. For example, in business settings, young female employees may also be addressed as kun by older males of senior status.

Sama

Sama (様 【さま) is a markedly more respectful version of san. It is used mainly to refer to people much higher in rank than oneself, toward one's customers, and sometimes toward people one greatly admires. When used to refer to oneself, sama expresses extreme arrogance (or self-effacing irony), as with ore-sama (俺様, "my esteemed self").

San

San (さん), sometimes pronounced han, is the most common honorific and is a title of respect similar to "Mr.", "Miss", "Mrs.", or "Ms." However, in addition to being used with people's names, it is also employed in a variety of other ways.

San is used in combination with workplace nouns, such that a bookseller might be addressed or referred to as honya-san ("bookstore" + san), and a butcher as nikuya-san ("butcher shop" + san).

San is sometimes used with company names. For example, the offices or shop of a company called Kojima Denki might be referred to as "Kojima Denki-san" by another nearby company. This may be seen on the small maps often used in phone books and business cards in Japan, where the names of surrounding companies are written using san.

San can also be attached to the names of animals or even inanimate objects. For example, a pet rabbit might be called usagi-san, and fish used for cooking can be referred to as sakana-san. Both uses would be considered childish (akin to "Mr. Rabbit" in English) and would be avoided in formal speech. It's also not uncommon even for married couples to refer to one another with san.

Senpai and kōhai

Senpai (先輩 【せんぱい) is used to address or refer to one's senior colleagues in a school, company, sports club, or other group. So at school, the students in higher grades than oneself are senpai. Students of the same or lower grade are not senpai, nor are teachers. In a business environment, colleagues with more experience are senpai, but one's boss is not a senpai. Like "Doctor" in English, senpai can be used by itself as well as with a name.
A kōhai is a junior, the reverse of senpai, but it is not normally used as an honorific.

Sensei

Sensei (先生 【せんせい) (literally meaning "former-born") is used to refer to or address teachers, doctors, politicians, and other authority figures. It is used to show respect to someone who has achieved a certain level of mastery in an art form or some other skill, and is also applied to novelists, poets, painters, and other artists, including manga artists. In Japanese martial arts, sensei typically refers to someone who is the head of a dojo. As with senpai, sensei can be used not only as a suffix, but also as a stand-alone title.

Sensei can be used fawningly, and it can also be employed sarcastically to ridicule such fawning. The Japanese media invoke it (rendered in katakana, akin to scare quotes or italics in English) to highlight the megalomania of those who allow themselves to be sycophantically addressed with the term.

Places

Alright, so amongst this RolePlay, there are bound to be some main places that the characters will mingle, meet up, etc. Depending on the circumstances, Akasaka would be named a lot, considering six (or more) of the characters would be living there.

Roppongi: (六本木 Roppongi) is a district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan, famous as home to the rich Roppongi Hills area and an active night club scene. Many foreign embassies are located in Roppongi, and the night life is known to be popular with locals and foreigners alike. It is in the southern portion of the circle described by the Yamanote Line, south of Akasaka and north of Azabu.
Nightlife in Roppongi

Shibuya: (渋谷区 Shibuya-ku) is one of the 23 special wards of Tokyo, Japan. As of 2008, it had an estimated population of 208,371 and a density of 13,540 persons per km. The total area is 15.11 km.

The name "Shibuya" is also used to refer to the central business district of Shibuya Ward, which surrounds Shibuya Station, one of Tokyo's busiest railway stations. Shibuya is known as one of the fashion centers of Japan, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area.

Harajuku: (原宿 "meadow lodging") is the common name for the area around Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan.

Every Sunday, young people dressed in a variety of styles including gothic lolita, visual kei, and decora, as well as cosplayers spend the day in Harajuku socializing. The fashion styles of these youths rarely conform to one particular style and are usually a mesh of many. Most young people gather on Jingu Bridge, which is a pedestrian bridge that connects Harajuku to the neighboring Meiji Shrine area.

Harajuku is also a fashion capital of the world renowned for unique street fashion. Harajuku street style is promoted in Japanese and international publications such as Kera, Tune, Gothic & Lolita Bible and Fruits. Many prominent designers and fashion ideas have sprung from Harajuku and incorporated themselves into other fashions throughout the world.

Harajuku is also a large shopping district that includes international brands, its own brands, and shops selling clothes young people can afford.

Position: International student

Last name, first name: Caff, Melody

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Can you speak English?: Yes, it's her first language

Can you speak Japanese?: Yes, second language but she can only speak a few phrases

Other Language(s): Never bothered to learn any others

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Place of Birth: Oceanside, California

Physical Appearance: Melody stands at about 5'4" and only weighs about 114 pounds, she's relatively skinny due to how little she eats. She has green eyes and brown hair that goes a little past her shoulders and wears mascara and eyeliner, other than that no make-up for her. She likes to wear dresses most of the time but will wear jeans and a t-shirt if it's cold.

Personality: Melody can be a very sweet girl if you take time to get to know her. She is relatively un-trusting toward just about everyone unless she knows them well. Around her friends she's like a different person than she is around everyone else. Her friends are the people she goes to when she's upset, lonely, or is just feeling social. She's the kind of girl one of her friends can vent to and she won't tell anyone about it...she'll just have an undeniable hatred toward anyone who upsets them. Melody is very irritible and her mood can change in an instant. One minute she is happy and socialable and the next, she's angry and ready to fight making her seem bipolar. She has no problem with hurting someone, in fact she enjoys hurting others, especially if they upset her or one of her friends. She's like an elephant, she never fogets and grudges last forever with her...she's definately one of those people you don't want to upset.

History: Melody grew up with her parents and a brother who was only a year older than her. When she was ten and he was eleven she started beating her up. He said he was 'only playing' and their parents beleived him no matter how bad Melody was hurt. She never knew when he was going to attack her, he was never consistant. Every time though he always hurt her, sometimes worse than others but he never let her get off easy. When he reached fourteen he was even worse and gave her multiple bruises and cuts which she had to lie about at school. When she was fifteen she started fighting back. She began fighting just the way he had been attacking her all those years. When they fought it couldn't be stopped until one of them were literally near death. Of course Melody was always the one on trouble for it, never her brother. She began hating her parents and they didn't care for her too much anymore...but more than anything she hated her brother. For causing her so much pain, and for making her who she is today.

Fighting Skill: She mostly punches...and she can do it pretty hard. If the person she is fighting falls she doesn't hessitate to kick them, she is actually pretty violant when it comes to fighting.

Habits: She tries to start a fight with whoever gets her upset even just a little bit

Hobbies: Melody likes to sing, but won't do it publically not even around her friends

Saying(s)/Quote(s):
I'm here to kick ass and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum.
She's got to love nobody...

Song: It's my life




Position: Local Japanese student

Last name, first name: Masuka, Kiyo

Age: 17 1/2

Gender: Female

Can you speak English?: Yes. It's her second language but she's pretty fluent

Can you speak Japanese?: Yes, it's her first language.

Other Language(s) – (Optional): Nope.

Ethnicity: Asian

Place of Birth: Naruto, Tokushima

Physical Appearance: Kiyo weighs about 109 pounds and is about 5'2" tall. She has an athletic body type due to Ju Jitsu. She has dark blue eyes and dark brown hair that goes to her shoulders. She never wears make-up unless she's going somewhere special. Kiyo doesn't like to wear dresses or skirts really, she's a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.

Personality: Kiyo is a girl that most everyone gets along with. She is very sweet and can be very bubbly at times. Being the person that she is Kiyo has a lot of friends, maybe not best friends but has quite a few aquaintances. When she's in a good mood or is hyper she can be pretty crazy and doesn't seem to care about what anyone thinks of her. In fact she hardly ever cares about what people think of her, she's very confident of herself. It's pretty hard to get her angry and it's never very bad when she is mad, she hardly ever practices her Ju Jitsu on anyone, the only reason she takes classes is for self defense which she will do if she has to.

History: She has lived in Japan all of her life. She grew up in Naruto with her parents and brother and spent most of her life there, until her father had to re-locate to Tokyo. She lives with her older brother and grandmother now since her parents had to move somewhere else. The siblings refused to leave their friends and grandmother all by herself. Her brother is a few years older than her and has a job and a house of his own not far from their grandmother's. Kiyo lives with her grandmother and help whenever she gets a chance to work in the tea shop her grandmother owns.

Fighting Skill: She know's Ju Jitsu and is pretty good at it.

Habits: When she's exited she talks way too fast for anyone to understand what she's saying.

Hobbies: Drawing, painting

Saying(s)/Quote(s): I just do what I want. It's not about what people are saying, it's about me.

Song: The green gentleman (Pretty Odd)

Might I reserve a place, yunjin? :)

Yes, you may Litria Death :) International student or local student? & accepted Kawaiiwolven! :)

Local, if you don't mind. :) This looks cool, as I have always fantasized of going to Japan one day. ^^

I finished Kiyo, but I can't think of a theme for either of them...suggestions?

Reserved, Litria Death. I'm glad you could be a part of this. Kawaiiwolven, they both look like really interesting characters, so just put a song that suits them. Think, if you were doing an AMV or a video of their life, what would be the music you would put with it?

I'm potentially interested in playing one of the military brats.

Okay I found songs, I think they fit well enough...at least relatively lol.

Good song's Kawaiiwolven :)

Position: International Student


Last name, first name: Aldridge, Skye-Estelle


Age: 18


Gender: Female


Can you speak English?: Yes, first language. Fluent.


Can you speak Japanese?: She wouldn’t call it a second language, because she can only understand a little bit. She isn’t fluent enough to keep a conversation going, but she does know a little Japanese to get by.


Ethnicity: Caucasian

Place of Birth: Skye was born in Sydney, Australia, where she was raised until she was fifteen before being sent to live with her father, who was working at a base in the U.S.

Physical Appearance: Skye stands at 5’6 and weighs about 65 kg, (146.5 pounds), which also includes some muscle. She has naturally light brown hair, but had lightened it to the point of a dark blond with the white streaks she had put through it. Her eyes are a dark green. Skye has always been self conscious of her rather large smile and will not hesitate to offend anyone who makes even the slightest comment on it. She has a rather dark and tanned complexion that makes her eyes stand out all the more. She has a nasty scar from a bullet wound in her lower stomach, to the lower left of her navel.

Personality: Skye, being a flippant person by nature, doesn’t care what people think of her or their first impressions of her character. Since she has been studying kick boxing and taekwondo since she was fifteen, she can be rather cocky and full of herself when faced with the option of a fight. In fact, she often goads the other person into a fight if the occasion arises. She is also very sarcastic, and never takes a serious situation seriously – life’s too short to be serious. Skye was always taught to never get upset, to always get angry because that showed how strong a person really was and this lesson often led to misunderstandings; often times, it was her on the misunderstood end. Whether it’s around friends or people she had met not five minutes before, she’ll laugh and joke with them like she’s known them for years. Even she doesn’t understand why she smiles, when all she wants to do is scream until someone finally hears her.


History: Skye was twelve when her parents divorced. She was still living in Australia at the time, and her mother had become her full caregiver while her father was relocated to U.S. She and her mother moved around constantly because of financial problems and, for a short time, they had lost contact with her father to ask for financial help. Skye’s mother hated asking for money, but in order to let her daughter live with as much comfort as possible, she had no choice but to track down her ex husband. Three months had gone by with no reply.


Her mother constantly working, the moving that never ended and hiding from debt collectors, Skye felt like she had been abandoned. When her father had been living with them, they had always changed locations and lived at the military bases, but this... this was too much. She never admitted it, but she often screamed into her pillow at night when her mother was asleep, begging her father to come and save them, like he always had before. She blamed her father for not contacting them, and she blamed her mother for letting her father leave for so long. Her mother would always say, “smile and everything will be alright,” but very soon her mother stopped smiling and Skye knew her mother never really believed the crap she herself spurted out. Her phrase changed, “I’m not happy, I’m not sad, I’m angry. That’s not weakness.”


Estelle would never know the power that one phrase had over her daughter for years to come.

Skye was once told that when she was born, she was named Skye because her father thought she would reach the sky in the future with those big blue/green eyes of hers. Skye did indeed reach the sky alright; when she was stoned or drunk. By the time she was fourteen her father had finally replied and fixed up all the debts, but it was far too late for redemption in his daughter’s eyes. Skye was already drinking and smoking illegally on a basis of four nights a week. She even showed up to school on morning drunk, but a friend of hers had called another friend to come pick her up before any of the teachers found out. She would skip school constantly, to the point where she was threatened to be held back. That didn’t scare her, though.


One night, those last two years of ‘doing what she wanted,’ finally reared its ugly head in the most unimaginable way. It was like any other night, cruising with friends, having a drink, bouncing from one house party to another from 1 am to 5 am. A typical Saturday night for underage teenagers. Skye was sitting in her older friend, Gina’s, car when a bloke walked out and asked for a lift. Skye knew this guy, he was an older boy who hung around with them often; Ryan. Gina agreed and told Skye to get into another car with their friend Leon. Skye agreed flippantly, like she always did, and jumped into the commodore parked just in front of them. Gina took off before Leon could ask if they wanted Skye and him to follow.


Casual talk took place before another man jumped into the backseat of Leon’s car, and a girl ran up to his driver’s side window. Leon seemed to know the man and the girl, so Skye didn’t take any notice of it and just sipped at her alcoholic beverage. The girl kept glancing at Skye, and the man in the backseat, Steven, just gripping at something in his lap. Skye was nervous, but didn’t say anything, until a gloved hand wrapped itself around her neck and something cold and steely was pressed against her temple.


The man in the backseat kept screaming and asking where Gina and Ryan had gone, and made Skye call them up and tell them to come back. Leon was trying to calm Steven down while the girl just kept drinking whatever she was drinking and kept looking out for Gina’s car. Skye was so afraid, she couldn’t dial Gina’s cell phone number and in the end, Leon had to do it. Gina sounded a little suspicious, but came back to the house they had been parked outside of anyway. As soon as she did the man with the gun jumped out of Leon’s car and ran down to Gina’s, while the girl Leon had been talking to was screaming something about Ryan stabbing another boy. Leon was about to speed out of there before Skye jumped out of the car, Leon just barely missing her to pull her back in. Skye never did find out where he drove off to.


Gina was outside the car, screaming with the girl who had been talking with Leon. As Skye neared Gina’s car she noticed her passenger side window had been smashed in, probably from Steven when he had ran up to her. Skye looked and Steven had Ryan down on the ground, gun aimed at his head. Gina was crying and screaming for him to stop, while the girl was busy trying to rip her hair out and get her on the ground. Skye knew she had to help Gina, like the older girl had helped her when she was in trouble at school or at home, and jumped in, knocking the other girl off her feet with one punch as she dropped the bottle of alcohol she had been holding. Steven, the girl’s boyfriend, turned from Ryan and – maybe angry Skye had hurt his girlfriend – shot her in her lower abdomen.


Ryan took the chance to run while Steven was standing away from him, shocked and wide-eyed that he had just shot a fourteen year old girl. Ryan grabbed a screaming Gina, forcing her into the car while she tried to reach for her friend, who was hunched and bleeding profusely on the road. Gina and Ryan sped off while, while the man with the gun and his girlfriend ran in the opposite direction. Leon was already long gone. They were in a suburban area with houses all around, someone had to have called for help by then.


Skye didn’t want to die alone, not before she saw her mother smile again.


Skye woke up five days later in the ICU at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, her mother fidgeting with some sheets in the corner with tear stained cheeks and muttering something about stains. The doctor’s later explained the bullet had missed a major internal organ and had been inches away from taking her life. Her mother cried, her father, who had flown from the U.S days before, threatened to shoot the people who did this, and Skye just sat and watched this odd parental display of affection towards her. It felt so... nostalgic.


Skye was later questioned by the police, but never gave out any names or faces. The police brought it down to, wrong place, wrong time, and never booked her for the alcohol the doctors had found in her system – underage drinking.

Fearing her daughter’s safety and out-of-control behaviour, Estelle let her husband take their daughter back to the U.S while she underwent therapy and moved in with her parents. As Skye got on the plane with her father, she made a silent promise to her mother as she watched the older woman and smile sadly at the daughter she probably wouldn’t see again for a long time. Skye promised she would see her mother smile again, maybe even laugh, when she came home. No one heard her as she screamed her heart out in silent desperation on that plane.


She later learnt kick boxing and taekwondo, swearing to herself she would never be put in that helpless situation again. She’ll go back to Sydney one day, and when she does, the man who shot her, and the people who put her in that situation, would pay dearly. She never did hear from Gina or Ryan after that.

Fighting Skill: Novice in taekwondo and has skills in kick boxing.


Habits: Fighting would be one of them, she’s also a chain smoker and, though she wouldn’t call this a habit, she does drink quite a bit when being social – although, she technically is still underage. She also still has quite a strong Australian accent and tends to drawl her speech when talking. Although she used to study how to fight, she hasn’t trained in about a year and can be very lazy.


Hobbies: She doesn’t have many hobbies... maybe staying out late and skipping class, or possibly, sleeping in.


Saying(s)/Quote(s): “Monday’s are just punishment’s for the good weekend we had.”


“No soup for you! NEXT!!”


“I don’t have attention problems, I just- RABBIT!!”


“Alright, that’s it, YOU! Off my planet!”


“I wish Karma was instantiations... how funny would that be?”

Last name, first name: Tanaka, Daisuke



Age: 18



Gender: Male


Can you speak English?: He only knows how to say, “no” and, “go away,” in English. So no, he does not speak English.

Can you speak Japanese?: Yes, it’s his first language. He has a strong accent from growing up in Osaka.


Ethnicity: Japanese


Place of Birth: Born in Osaka, Japan.


Physical Appearance: Daisuke stands at 5’8 and only weighs about 140 pounds. He has naturally dark hair and olive skin. He isn’t very buff and often that’s where people underestimate him. He has a lot of upper body strength, despite his slim frame.


Personality: Daisuke is a loner by nature, but despite that, people flock to him. He always has an opinion to throw out when it’s not needed, but often times, that little opinion or piece of advice comes in handy. He usually gives off the aura that he doesn’t need friends, or people in general, to feel good about himself, but when people do take the initiative to try and talk to him, he does feel a little sense of gratitude. Daisuke is that human being you think would be better off on his own, that he feel’s happy when people aren’t buzzing around him, when really, he thrives for the companionship.



History: Daisuke grew up in a single parent environment. He was four when his mother found out she had an untreatable heart virus and six months after she was diagnosed, died in a cold hospital bed alone. His father was off playing pachinko and gambling what little money they had left after paying her hospital bills. Daisuke never forgave him and his father never really cared that Daisuke would never forgive him.


When Daisuke was sixteen, his father moved the two of them to Tokyo because of his work. Daisuke was never really a troublemaker, but that didn’t mean he tried hard in school either. Daisuke never even took exam’s to enter high school and when his father found out, he was angered. He made Daisuke sit the exam for Komatta, which he tried to purposely flunk, but to his horror and astonishment, he was accepted and enrolled into Komatta Senior High School.


He had never been so disappointed.


Fighting Skill: Daisuke isn’t the fighting type, but he will defend himself when the situation arises. He has a mean punch and is very agile. If they can’t touch you, you have all the chances to touch them – HARD.


Habits: He has a bad habit of zoning out when someone is trying to talk to him. He may seem like he’s listening, but really, he’s probably staring your hair and wondering if you had washed it that morning – he’s all about hygiene. He’s also a social smoker, if you have a cigarette, he’ll take one if offered.


Hobbies: Daisuke’s an avid reader. He’ll usually sit at lunch, reading a book he had only started that morning, already contemplating what he’ll be reading next. Knowledge is power and power is everything.
