Full Name: Takumi Hiyashi (林 拓海) Age: 17 Gender: Male Nationality: Japanese Appearance: • Blonde hair (naturally dark but dyed, meticulously kept) • Piercing blue eyes that stand out sharply against his pale complexion • Tall (around 6’1” / 185 cm) with a lean yet muscular athletic build • Impeccably dressed, always in pressed uniforms or stylish casual wear befitting his status • Sharp, handsome features with a calm, unreadable expression

Background: Takumi comes from one of the most influential and wealthy families in Japan, with deep roots in business, politics, and cultural influence. His family’s name is associated with prestige, discipline, and high expectations. From a young age, Takumi has been groomed to maintain the perfect image: excelling academically, representing his family with poise, and never allowing weakness to show.

Strengths: • Academically gifted (top student in most subjects) • Athletic, disciplined, and determined • Natural leader, commands respect effortlessly • Loyal and protective toward those he truly cares for

Weaknesses: • Emotionally guarded, making it hard for others to truly know him • Burdened by family expectations and the need to uphold a flawless image • Can come off as intimidating or unapproachable • Struggles with vulnerability and trust

Reputation at School: • Seen as the “untouchable” golden boy of the prestigious academy. • Girls admire him, boys respect him, teachers rely on him. • Rumors paint him as coldhearted and arrogant, though in reality, he hides his caring nature to protect himself from being taken advantage of.

Hidden Side: Despite his distant exterior, Takumi quietly does acts of kindness without seeking recognition — tutoring struggling students anonymously, standing up for classmates subtly, or protecting others behind the scenes. His greatest fear is letting someone see his true emotions and rejecting him for not being the perfect “Hiyashi
