.....At around 186 centimeters in height, Hiroyuki is typically seen as on the tall side, usually having a decent gap between him and whoever he happens to be standing around. His weight rests at a comfortable 68 kilograms, partly of which he can thank his decent workout routines, but more so his rather high metabolism...otherwise his appetite would have added on quite a few more digits. A toning to his body has come from both as well, noticeable for the most part, especially in his legs.
.....Dark hair rests over Hiroyuki's head, black in color, and beginning to reach his shoulders with sections of it resting over his neck. He does take rather well care of it, and seems to enjoy styling it with the left pulled back, leaving the center and right mostly free. Large sections of it often fall over that side of his face, often appearing rather messy and wild, though he doesn't seem to mind. It does seem to be long enough to pull back into something of a ponytail as well at this point, although that's more of a rare style for him. His eyes, though dark as well, are a brown shade instead, and often appear to carry a tired or dispirited, conflicting with his typically energetic and warm appearance. Lengthier eyelashes shade his eyes, which seem to show the faintest signs of eye bag, though Hiroyuki can often be found covering them up with light makeup or hiding them behind a pair of glasses.
.....While scarring is hard to spot on his body thanks to him covering it up, there can be several found in a variety of spots: several faint marks over his right forearm, a shapeless blotch on his left shoulder blade, and several small marks as if someone dug their nails too hard into his left wrist, to name a few.
.....In attire, he doesn't seem particularly drawn to anything specific, although does enjoy layers and can often be found wearing sweaters with collared shirts beneath, or tank tops under long sleeves. But really, so long as it's comfortable he'll wear it.

.....For as long as Hiroyuki or anyone else for that matter can remember, he's always been rather outgoing, a social butterfly of sorts. Friends, acquaintances, they've never been hard for him to make, no matter where he seems to go or end up. All through his school days, and further into his music career, he's integrated into groups, introduced himself and hit it off with strangers, and even found lovers, though after his first, romance seems far out of reach for him, often dying out in a matter of weeks, if that. Because of it, he rarely seems to look for anything of that sort anymore, often turning down confessions should he receive any as well.
.....As with his social and outgoing personality, Hiroyuki is known as a rather kind and caring person as well. He may often carry with high energy and an excitable demeanor, but he can by all means be just as gentle and sweet. A warm aura, a high patience, a soothing voice, he's often found himself to be someone others quickly come to trust, and someone they can speak to about their issues, someone who can help direct their outlook somewhere more positive, or even just a shoulder to cry on. He's always done his best to fulfill that expectation of course, and so far feels as if he's been rather successful and hopefully helped others as they need.
.....While most of the defining traits of his personality are true, they have long since been buried away, and the ones displayed now are mere shells of what should be there - fake, forced, a mask that he puts on to keep up appearances, to keep up others' moods, to fulfill the role he's always held for those around him. It's practically all he's ever known, having almost always been the support to those who need it, the mini comedian to light up the mood, the relaxed presence that helps others be the same...a myriad of other things. He's unsure how not to be, or perhaps, is afraid to not fit into that mold despite how he truly feels inside; it's nothing but heavy weight and infinite drowning and endless darkness, and each day he seems to sink further through the bottomless pit. But no one knows that, nor will they ever if he has anything to say about it. The Hiroyuki the world will know is the one he wants them to, and the only one everyone wants anyway, as far as he's aware. He'll be keeping his true feelings to himself.

.....Born as the oldest son into the lower class Yamada family, Hiroyuki had only three little sisters to follow after him - Umeko at four years, and twins Ran and Eri at six. His mother he'd always known as a gentle soul, sweet with her words and patient to each of her children as she did her best to care for them. His father he knew as nonexistent until he'd turned seven, though had he known better, he would have wished him to stay as such for the rest of his life. The supposed "provider" of the family, growing up all Hiroyuki ever saw of him was alcohol, malice, neglect, rage. His mother taught him from a young age to stay in his room when the man was home, and when his sisters arrived to their family, he taught them the same.
.....He could say his days at school were something of an escape. Long, no doubt, and he didn't exactly excel in his classes, but it was better than being home and risking running into the man, or sitting in his room all day. It was there that his social nature came to light, and from day one Hiroyuki found himself at ease with making friends. The same continued into middle school, not much to anyone's surprise, and eventually found himself as someone considered "popular" by his peers. It was then that he realized his love for music as well: singing, guitar, a combo of the two that ended up directing his focus towards those two things. Singing on its own was easy enough, though he had to ask to borrow a friend's guitar while they were at the school whenever he could to get any time into that, but eventually he seemed to grow tired of it, and began saving for his own. It was the purchase of that guitar however, that set off his father when he happened to come home one night to Hiroyuki playing it. A so called "useless purchase" when he should have given the money to the man instead, the one who "clearly really needed it." A broken wrist, a variety of cuts and bruises. The trip to the hospital and the return home to the man who held no visible remorse seemed to be the breaking point for his mother, and in a matter of days the family had left behind the man and found their own home in a new apartment. Hiroyuki, once there, felt like he could truly breathe for the first time.
.....His first year of high school, it seemed, was a similar route to middle and elementary. While he did start out slower than expected, it wasn't very long before his social circle grew, and again he flourished.
.....It was a short while into his first year that he met Sato Itsuki. A quieter classmate, the teen was no doubt a friendly character, yet distant, quiet, kept to himself more often thanX

X not. Timid was all Hiroyuki thought at first, although it became clear with time that it was more than that, if that was it at all. Lonely, perhaps afraid? He couldn't have known exactly. But he'd never been one to give up so easily, and wasn't about to let the other push him away like he had the rest.
.....It took time, in the end, and more than he'd expected, but each step forward was enough to excite him over their budding friendship, and unknown to him for sometime, their growing feelings for one another. Music he often played for the other, and together shared poetry they'd found. Quiet, long conversations, or loud laughter and mischief. The end of their first year, and Hiroyuki realized he'd fallen for Itsuki. Not long after, they began dating, and for what seemed to be the first time, his world made sense, was content, at peace. And it stayed that way, until their final year in high school.
.....An offer from a scout, who had taken notice of his potential was what Hiroyuki felt to be the trigger. The words spoken would never leave him, both his own and Itsuki's, nor the expressions, the hurt, he could practically relive the entire scene inside his head if he ever felt the desire. In what felt like a flash everything was over, and all that was left for the teen was the offer and a path. He of course, pursed his dream, what with nothing else to stay back for anymore, and yet again, he found himself soon surrounded by new friends, new social circles, and eventually, groups he could call his fans, as odd as it was for him to say that. Friends he would occasionally grow closer with, yet any attempt at anything beyond fizzled out and died within weeks, sometimes even mere days. And after several tries, it seemed for Hiroyuki that Itsuki would be his first, and only love.
.....As the next several years dragged themselves on, Hiroyuki found himself burying his true emotions inside of himself - a mask he brought up, forced, false, fake, to keep up the appearance everyone knew, to keep up the roles he'd always played for others so they wouldn't be disappointed, so he wouldn't lose the connections he still had, so he wouldn't be left alone again. And if that was what it took to keep others happy, then he would do it for the rest of his life.
