Gender: male

Age: 16

Nationality: Japanese

Height: 5'3

Sexuality: bisexual

Personality: Kazutora doesn't like to play by the rules. He makes up his own, doing whatever he pleases. He has no filter really, being blunt to anyone he meets while also able to cuss up a storm if pissed off. He doesn't take shit from anyone, not giving a fuck about other's feelings either. If he likes you, he likes your. If he doesn't, you are pretty much screwed. He isn't one to show weakness at all and makes sure to put up a strong front. Even though he is pretty small, it's best not to mess with him. He can beat the living shit out of you if you ever cross him in the wrong way. Because of how he grew up, he is somewhat messed up in a way. He tends to cut himself at times, saying that he likes the pain. Though, it's just the effects of being from a broken home. He doesn't like sharing his past all that much since a whole lot of baggage comes with it.

Likes: fighting, smoking, getting into trouble, secretly basketball even though he denies it, piercings, painting his nails, cutting, blood and gore, horror movies, his motorcycle, his adoptive family (doesn't show it but it really means a lot to him that they took him in), eating meat, graffiti

Dislikes: getting caught, going to juvie, drugs, alcohol, being told what to do, school in general, his actual parents, the color pink, anyone who get on his nerves, people who cross him the wrong way, having to actually attend school and learn since he isn't a fan

Strengths: good fighter, knows how to stand up for himself, strong defender when it comes to basketball, even though he is small, he can pummel your like a freight train, not one to back down from a challenge

Weaknesses: still learning all the rules for basketball, passing the ball to others since he likes having control in the game, sometimes his teamwork abilities since he isn't used to this kind of setting (only time he was used to it was when he was apart of the gang back home)

Fears: going back to juvie or even to jail this time, seeing his real parents again if he ever does, feeling like he somewhat betrayed his gang and how they might be out for his blood

School: Tōō

Year: 1st year

Club: basketball

Appearance:

Background: Kazutora comes from a very broken family. Mother is a drug addict while his father is an alcoholic. He usually got abused by both parents if he ever messed up and did something wrong. This sort of abuse made him decide it was best to join a nearby gang. Probably not the best idea but it was a way to get away from his family at least. That's where he learned how to fight and stand up for himself. He learned how to do other things as well, illegal things that is. This ended up with him getting caught by the police and sentenced off to juvie. While there, a case worker had looked into his family and saw how unfit his parents were in raising him so she decided that he needed to be placed into a foster family once he finished his sentence. That meant moving into a whole different area, far away from his hometown. The judge on his case also said that he needed to join a club at his new school, saying that this would be a good way to keep him out of trouble. That's how he ends up with the Imayoshi family and is now attending Tōō Academy.
