Personality("An intelligent, calculative and strategic person who is always thinking, trying to stay one-step ahead of others so that he controls everything to go the way he wants. At first meeting he comes across as easy-going and casual, but he will quickly switch gears to a more serious and underhanded side when he realizes that he has to. He constantly does research on others and knows a lot about them, which comes in handy when he can clearly pinpoint where they struggle, and make suggestions for improvement.

History("As young children Hayato bonded with Reo over ice-skating. But from the day when he was injured, their relationship began to change. Hayato grew up in Reo's shadow and he saw Reo's attitude towards him as condescending. Then one day, Hayato discovered skate-leading, and he thought that he found a special thing to call his own until Reo abruptly decided to stop figure skating in order to begin skate-leading. Hayato wasn't okay with this and left home seeking revenge by finding the team that stood a chance at defeating his brother.") Etymology("The name Hayato means "falcon" (隼) (haya) and "person" (人) (to).
