general;
+ at a young age his mother had abandoned him in desperate measures. she was a beautiful chinese woman who worked for dirty money as a prostitute. having a baby had completely ruined her job, and without any money, she couldn't afford a place to live, or anything to eat. before tao was even a week old, she was cornered into abandoning him. she left him in a basket in front of a small chinese restaurant and took off. she was later never seen ever again.

+ feeling terribly guilty, the man who owned the restaurant had taken the baby in and looked after him alongside his wife. they didn't particularly raise him close enough to be considered a son, but they did look after him after he grew old enough to move into school dorms. even still, tao happily works at the restaurant.

personality;
+ tao is a very bubbly young man, he's extremely friendly and helpful to others. his charisma is off the charts as the young male is always liked by the elderly in the neighborhood. he's constantly helping others to the point he doesn't seem to have very much time for himself.

+ he works at a small chinese restaurant and often does delivery on his bike. quite like 'tao's delivery service'.

+ he's very polite and never acts out of order, while the boy definitely knows how to have fun during soccer and enjoy himself - he knows how to be respectful to others and follow rules. tao holds the same motto as his school Manyuuji - that their soccer is only for fun and enjoyment as well as meditation. they don't wish to use it for competing, and therefore did not attend the FF. tao has no problem playing with others, but he's very happy playing only friendly matches.

+ tao is especially quiet and obedient, he doesn't have very much friends, but he's quite fine on his own.

+ tao tends to be quite nervous around friendly girls, but his kind and gentle personality strike females as quite adorable and cute. he's a little bit shy with females, but the boy doesn't mean any harm.
