Personality: Minoru is pretty much a complete scatterbrained person, always misplacing things and forgetting were he places his things. He is very quirky, sporting his own unique style and not caring how anyone else sees him. He is very open in trying new things but once he gets into something he loves, it's hard for him to stop. He is a bit on the messier side, especially when making his art pieces. Will tend to get either paint on his skin or any other medium he is working with that day. It doesn't bother him at all. He likes what he creates and doesn't care if no one else gets it besides him. Though, when it comes to exam prompts for prep school, he does make sure to follow the template but will throw in his usual twist to show that it's his art, no one else's. He's very friendly to anyone he meets and is open to talking about anything with anyone. Accepts everyone he meets.

Likes: art in general, any type of medium but mainly focuses on oil painting, reading, writing, listening to music, eating food whenever he can, watching movies, gaming, streaming whenever he gets the chance, skateboarding

Dislikes: lack of motivation when it does come upon him, artist block, when the prompt seems dull to him (he likes excitement), when he doesn't have food on him, sometimes getting depressed spells

Fears: doesn't have many fears really, though, he doesn't like being alone

Health: His health is good, though, he does get some scars and bruises from skateboarding.
Nothing too bad. He might have depression at times but is able to bounce back in an instant. He doesn't want anything to stop him.

High School: same as Kuwana

Year: 2

Affiliation: Tokyo Art Institute

Speciality: oil painting, does other art mediums on the side

Backstory: Minoru grew up in a loving home with his mom and dad. His parents would have had more children but they had some complications. Being an only child was sometimes not ideal but his parents made sure that he got a lot of love and support. They always wanted for him to try out everything that he could, wanting to know what he would like and dislike. His parents wanted for Minoru to get to know himself through this and to see what he would like to do in the future. Minoru wasn't a picky child, not minding some of the things he did while growing up but when he was introduced to art, he feel in love at first sight. From then on, he worked hard to where he is now. Always making art whenever he could to improve more and more in his craft.
