Personality: Kodaka is quite a strange teenager. He seems to be a delinquent at first-glance, as shown by his normally frowning face and apathetic aura, and you'd probably be right to assume so. He is after all, involved in a gang.
He doesn't smile very much and tends to take things a bit too seriously, but he isn't cold-hearted. He's simply thick-skinned. You can't be weak and merciful in gangs, or you'll be chewed out quickly. He doesn't have very many friends and people tend to whisper rumors about him. Most rumors are true.
Contrary to belief however, he enjoys school. He'd rather be at school learning than shooting up a store. The only reason he's in a gang is to pay for school, it's quite ironic actually.
Don't be fooled, he isn't good. He'd kill someone if it meant his survival, sure he'd regret it, but it's just the way he was brought up. And as for lying, he'd do it without doubting himself.
He is however, lonely. Sure, school is enjoyable, but being the kid who everyone's afraid of isn't. He isn't good at confrontation, even as intimidating as he is. If you were to walk up to him and try to talk to him, he'd probably keep on doing what he was doing before you approached him. It's not that he doesn't want to talk to you, he just doesn't know how to.

Bio: Kodaka never particularly cared about his parents and they didn't care about him, as shown when they left him at age four. He wasn't able to pay the rent at his parents' house and was eventually put into an orphanage. The orphanage wasn't particularly bad but it wasn't good either. The only thing to do there was to read books, which was exactly what he ended up doing. Day after day he read books, from Machiavelli to Lovecraft. It was at age six that he was adopted into the gang he's now in.
The gang was and still is run by a man going by the name of "Vino". Vino wasn't particularly evil, he only did what he needed to survive. Kodaka was raised by the gang's members to be violent, cruel, and powerful. They wanted someone who was capable of taking down the whole city, and they would have made Kodaka that if it wasn't for one little fact. Kodaka entered and began enjoying school. He quickly managed to adapt to the school setting, but not as he would have wanted to.
He ended up being secluded and with poor social skills. It took him a lot of courage to go up to someone and have a normal conversation, but it didn't take any courage for him to beat up someone. it didn't help that his hair looked strange, in fact, teachers automatically assumed he was an idiot and gave him mediocre assignments. He was blamed for quite a bit of things, some of which he actually did. After a while however, teachers noticed his intelligence and a normal life seemed to be on the horizon. That is, until he was ordered to kidnap a rival gang member.
