Personality:
Kazu is a peculiar guy, to others he looks like a big mystery with the color of his hair and his one dark colored eye and the other one being bright. Yet he always somehow puts up a grin, despite hearing this. No one ever sees Kazu upset, and find it odd that he is seemingly happy all the time. Even goes out of his way to help others over himself. People even go out of their way just to ask Kazu for help, even if its something minor. Due to his accident causing one of his eyes to be badly damaged and replaced, he feels as though he has already seen Death, so it takes quite a bit to make him feel fear. Kazu has a habit of trying to be perfect at everything, he doesn't consider failure an option in the slightest. Also due to peer pressure, mostly from his lack of disagreeing he ended up getting a tattoo on his neck which he hides with a black scarf. One of the only times Kazu gets silent is when he sees other people with their brothers, as it brings up memories of his past with his brother.
Backstory:
As a young child who grew up with two caring parents and a brother who always gave him advice he would see on cartoon or games, to Kazu this was the perfect definition of true happiness. No arguing, no hate, simply a loving and caring family. For most of his life that was true, until he was fifteen years old that was. He was picked up by his brother from school, and as they were heading home a drunk driver came around the corner too fast and rammed head on into their car. broken glass went flying everywhere, and one piece hit Kazu directly in his left eye, while that was the worst damage he has received besides a few cuts and a few broken ribs from the air bag. His brother had not been as lucky, a glass shard cut into his neck and before the ambulance arrived he has died.
Ever since that day everything in Kazu's house was more silent, the once happy atmosphere was replaced with grief and anger. Anger at the world, and grief from taking away his brother. and for a year that's how things went on in the house, silence for the most part besides the parents asking him to go run an errand for them. After a year, the parents for a reason unknown to him, decided to get a divorce, it took another year for everything to get settled and who would get custody of Kazu, but in the end Kazu ended up staying with his mom. The divorce only made things more silent in Kazu's little world, however his mother tried her best to make Kazu feel happy again, so without knowing Kazu ended up making a fake happy personality. It was more for keeping his mother happy than himself, he didn't want any chance of ruining whatever joy he had left inside him. So he kept this fake happiness up even at school, yet this fake happiness only brought him more grief and annoyance, with everyone asking him stupid question, or bugging him to do something simple. He couldn't help but wish they would all just learn to shut up and do it themselves. However whenever he came home and saw his mothers bright smile, it always managed to let him know it was worth it. Of course he was scolded completely when she saw his Tattoo, as hiding it from her would have been impossible.

Shadow Self Appearance: The carefree happy smile on Kazu's face turns into a look of annoyance that seems as though its aggravated by something on the shadow's face, from the fake eye blood can be seen running down its face. The scarf Kazu wears hangs untied over the shadows shoulders revealing the tattoo. While the left eye remains the same color the right eye is now gold
Shadow Self True Appearance:
It pretty much remains the same except he turns completely black and grows an extra five feet while blood now pours from both eyes, the figure also now has a puppet that is suppose to be a mock of Kazu showing that he feels his life is being controlled for him
Shadow Self Personality:
What Kazu hides is the fact that he is annoyed by a lot of things, from the simple questions that could easily be done by the one that asked the question, to those that speculate on how he got his eye, not believing that he got it from a car accident, as it didn't fit his image. Kazu also hides his true voice, afraid to speak up afraid he will only make things worse. while his shadow doesn't hold back in the slightest, if anything the shadow goes as far to repeat what he thinks is right. Kazu also blames the world for what happened to his brother, and the shadow makes it clear that he despises everyone slightly. All Kazu truly wants is for everything to go back to being the happy place he once knew, not this nightmare of a place that he lives in now.
