Age23
Personality TraitsHiroichi appears to his students to be professional, kind, and open young man-and that isn't a false mask. He is caring, but underneath his kind exterior is a mass of complexes. Hiroichi is constantly questioning himself, his teaching methods, and his success as a teacher to an unhealthy extent, and suffers from extreme imposter syndrome. It's due to this self-destructive mindset that he puts too much of himself in his work, and will overexert himself for his job and his students to an unhealthy extent. He keeps very few close friendships because of this, throwing himself into his work because of his belief that he's "failing his students by not being a good enough instructor." He also has a bad habit of self-deprecating jokes during class and is not the kind of guy to argue at a student if they made fun of him. To put it simply: he's a pushover in class.
BackstoryA prodigy. A brilliant boy. Born for greatness. Hiroichi spent his childhood hearing his family speak about him to others as if he was some perfect angel. Hiroichi came from a relatively poor family, and due to his natural talent and intelligence, found himself with countless opportunities for greatness. He balanced school life with helping his family, even assisting his father with his construction work. Due to part-time jobs throughout school, he rarely made connections with others his age and kept a very small group of friends. He graduated top of his class at his Tokyo High School, enrolled in Tokyo University and was considered a top candidate for medical school. Everything seemed poised for greatness until his life began to spiral out of control after an incident with another student. He would go on to change universities and his major, pursuing a crash course in education.
Due to his top marks and his recommendations from his school, he received a job offer from Kenkoichi International Academy and multiple other schools across the country. He took the position offered to him by the Kenkōichi and was assigned to be the boy's dormitory supervisor, allowing him his own personal suite in the dormitories. He spends his free time in the city, enjoying local restaurants, especially the local Udon stand. Still, he remains awkward with adults his age and tends to connect more with his students, straining his own personal life since it is inappropriate to be friends with your wards. Due to that, his time is mostly spent alone.
GearAs an educator, he's usually keeping papers and pens in his satchel that he carries to work with him every day. When it comes to implements of destruction, he's actually quite capable of using construction equipment, such as hammers. This goes back to his youth, where he would assist his father, a construction worker, with various DIY tasks around the house.
