Kevin Yamagata

PERSONALITY: Yamagata possesses an intense passion to draw, and has dreamed of becoming a famous comic artist since he was a child. He is very diligent in his work, and stresses a level of realism in his art, particularly the settings and background. This has led him to chide his assistant, Chuck Culkin, on multiple occasions for not being able to draw certain things realistically enough. Despite this, he puts a great deal of trust in Cuklin's artistic abilities, even to the extent of letting him draw the comic while he ventures to Japan to sort out the possibility of having subconsciously stolen the idea of Billy Bat from another artist. Because of his father's experience with having an idea stolen from him, Yamagata strongly believes in the importance of authenticity in his works, leading him to travel back to Japan in order to find the original author of a manga greatly resembling his own comic, and if possible, ask them for permission to continue drawing Billy Bat. Kevin is a kind-hearted man who takes care in treating everyone humanely. He is an aggressive and touchy drunk; his intoxicated self seems like a complete 180 to his real self. The rare times that he is sexually active, he focuses more on intimacy and foreplay rather than the actual act of sex. Kevin isn't a virgin, but he is quite inexperienced with sex and might as well be a virgin because of it. He doesn't like being rough sexually, and would rather take things nice, slow, and gentle. He has the following kinks that he's not aware he has: breeding kink, praise, being controlled or being the one in control, infantilization of his partner, gentle biting, measuring people and being measured for any reason, and tasting blood.

APPEARANCE: He is a tall thin Japanese-American man with curly black hair. It's mentioned multiple times that Yamagata resembles actor Ryo Ikebe. He does not have muscles and is not very strong. Additionally, he is not exactly well equipped sexually, but is conventionally handsome in looks.

BACKGROUND: He was born and raised in Orange County, California on November 26, 1923, his parents were both originally from Niigata. His father worked for a farmer and protected his orange trees. There as a baby Kevin met his master/teacher for the first time. We can see that Billy Bat communicated with him since he was a child and that he drew comics that Billy Bat had told him about.
