"I'm sorry for everything.
Even though I made all that drama to declare we'd be able to overturn fate,
In the end, I'm the one retiring first."-Keiichi Maebara, shortly before taking a bullet to the chest and dying
Name: Keiichi Maebara
Age: 16
Gender: Male
From: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Personality: Keiichi is a kind, if somewhat rude on occasion, young man. He appears to be some sort of chivalrous pervert, greatly enjoying the sight of the female body, while at the same time respecting his eye candy's dignity. It is likely, however, that his perverseness is merely a ruse to screw with his friends. No one is entirely sure. Speaking of friends, he values said friends above all else (possibly due to the lack of having any for most of his life) and would stop at nothing to protect them. Nothing. Not even murder. In fact, murder seems to be a common solution.
However, Keiichi has another side to his personality. Deep down, he is incredibly paranoid. Under stressful conditions and harsh emotional situations, his paranoia is likely to reveal itself as a great distrust in everyone around him, the belief that something is always following him, and acts of intense violence (usually involving baseball bats and the loss of human life).
Also, he doesn't like needles. Not one bit. He does like Mion, though. Quite a bit, not that he'd ever let it show.
Bio: Before moving to Hinamizawa, Keiichi was struggling with his grades in a cram school in Tokyo. An intelligence test, however, showed that he was very smart, but if a question didn't make logical sense, as in "Why should one do that?", he wouldn't find it interesting, and thus would not answer the question very well. After the intelligence test, he was transferred to another, more gifted school, where his grades improved rapidly. He was soon the best in class in every subject, but that resulted in lack of social strength. Keiichi was bullied by his jealous classmates, but he could easily take it as there was only one thing that mattered to him—the praise from his teachers, and, more importantly, his parents, and he was given allowance raises as a reward. However, as Keiichi started to find school too easy and boring and his high grades became "expected", he felt like getting involved in something "more exciting" and decided to buy an airsoft gun with his extra allowance. With it, he began shooting at smaller children as they walked home from school.
Keiichi was never connected to the shootings, due to his clever ways of hiding and sneaking, but his actions did not go unnoticed, and parents were asked to never let their children go home alone. One day, however, a young girl was on her own, and Keiichi found her a too easy a target to resist. The girl turned around before he managed to shoot and she was hit in the eye. Her pained screams seemed to register with Keiichi, as he froze in horror. He wanted to help her, but couldn't do so without revealing himself and thus ran away. Keiichi, in the end, confessed to being the shooter to his parents one morning. His parents were greatly upset, but they also felt guilty for not hearing their son's "cry for help". For the sake of a new start, Keiichi's parents paid his bail and moved to a quiet town, Hinamizawa. There, he met and befriended a group of people, including Mion and Shion Sonozaki, the former of whom he had a thing for.
