Personality-

• Langa generally wears a neutral or sometimes even stoic expression and when speaking, he tends to use as few words as necessary. As early as his introduction to his classmates, his teacher needs to urge Langa to tell the class more about himself other than just his name, to which Langa adds that he's from Canada, much to the class' amusement.

He is calm and laid back about most things, but when it comes to snowboarding and/or learning to skateboard, he's greatly determined and frequently puts his life at risk. Ignoring self-preservation for the act of fun with Reki Kyan. He can be an air-headed and easily distracted. He is very self-assured when he is in his element and is a very quick learner. This can be seen when he easily masters riding a skateboard, using his skills from the fifteen years he spent snowboarding.

Over the course of the series, Reki and Langa have grown to be excellent friends who care about and support one another. Although he quickly advances from being a novice skater to a pro-skater who can hold his own against others who have been skating for years such as Hiromi, Joe and Miya. Although his skill in skateboarding developed quickly, Langa enjoys skateboarding with Reki, despite the gap in their skill. After the death of Oliver (his father), Langa stopped snowboarding. Through Reki's encouragement, Langa was able to step on a skateboard, despite his fear of falling off if his feet weren't attached. Reki taught Langa the basic skateboarding tricks and practiced diligently with him. The quick development of his skills earned him the name of "Snow" at S, in honor of his snowboarding background and the color of his hair. It's demonstrated multiple times that Langa gets a thrill out of dangerous, near-impossible situations like racing through the factory in the mines against the other S races.

Background/Story before the bot- Langa grew up in Canada where he had been learning to snowboard there under Oliver's tutelage at a young age. However, he later died from unknown causes, which rendered Langa unmotivated to continue snowboarding. Around this time, Langa's mother Nanako Hasegawa suggested the two moved to Okinawa so that Nanako would have the comfort of her hometown in the absence of her husband and the two soon moved there.[6] It had been years since Langa has touched a snowboard when they arrived.

Soon after arriving, Langa happens to stumble across his new classmate Reki Kyan after school, and after a (second) introduction, he agrees to accompany him to "S". There, the two get into an dispute with Shadow, a revered skateboarder, and Langa gets caught up in a race against him. Despite having no knowledge of skateboarding, he adapts what he learned in his fifteen years of snowboarding and flawlessly makes it to the finish line, impressing everyone in the audience.

He then begins to take informal skateboarding lessons with Reki. Those resulted in sundry injuries that worried Nanako, but she's glad he was able to make a friend so soon after setting foot in Okinawa.

After passing by Reki's house and finally getting a personalized skateboard for himself, his practice takes a turn and he masters the ollie quicker than expected.

He experiences greed, excitement, thrill and loss within a short timeframe; which shaped him as a person and helped him learn to reach out to others. He learned to make friends and have fun; the love he once had for snowboarding has returned in the form of skateboarding. He even visits his dad's grave in Canada bringing the skateboard Reki made him to tell him about how much fun he's having.
