Name: Shichirou 'Seven' Hamada (浜田 七郎 Hamada Shichirou)Nationality: Japanese
Age: 14 (turning 15) y/o
Birth Date: August 13th, 1996Appearance:Seven has clean short, black hair and brown eyes. He has a regular but impressive physique as a swimmer and a fitness buff, post-bullying.
Personality: KNOWLEDGE to him, as
Seven likes to say it in his native tongue '
CHISHIKI', is earned through experience.
Seven also believes in one of Anton Chekhov's quotes saying that: "
KNOWLEDGE is of no value unless you put it into practice." And he proudly takes it to both heart and brain, becoming the nice and responsible, straight young man that he is since his 'transformation' from bullying.
However, when and where there is
KNOWLEDGE, there is also I̷̞̐̆̀̌G̸̡̝̟̼̊̌̿N̵̼̩̎̊͌̔Ọ̶̱̥̩̌̀͛͝R̷̻̖̔͝Ä̷̞̔͛N̴̗͕̒̿̇̀C̶̜̆̐̒Ẽ̵̯̪̃̅.
Seven's will to know too much can get the better of him, and this sometimes led to the point where he never listens when someone's calling out on his negative attitude.
Crest: Knowledge (知識 Chishiki)Hobbies & Skills: Swimming Prodigy, Fitness Buff, Surfer, Aspiring Cook, Bona Fide Nerd
Dank Memes Connoisseur and All-Around Nice and Responsible Guy...

Without a doubt,
Seven is a techie with both an open, wild imagination and intellect...and more. He takes his tasks earnestly and sincerely when it comes to being diverse to stuff. Is also independent and strong-willed, be it having experienced firsthand a natural disaster, bullied for his lacking frame during childhood, or being a foreigner in a new country.
A fine young Japanese man with a penchant for the simple things as well,
Seven easily earns friends regardless of anything that is lacking or any barrier, be it age, gender, race, language (which can take some time though he's fluent in his native tongue Japanese, English, Filipino
and Cebuano), etc.. But like any other person, his sense of independence and responsibility can either make or break him, mostly the latter for his overconfident and/or selfish tendencies as well as vanity for him keeping his outward appearance in check, thus
Seven also has a habit of unconsciously removing his clothes at
opportune moments such as when he's alone.

HerakleKabuterimon (HerculesKabuterimon) Seven's Tentomon (that he'll eventually christen as 'Kouji' [光司/コウジ, 'Light Boss']
*) is just like most of its kind as a Rookie Insectoid Digimon: He has a naturally friendly sentiment and a carefree way of life. However, besides being
Seven's destined partner, he can be skeptical at
Seven's new friends at first and has a perverted side, such as teasing
Seven in those previously mentioned
opportune moments.
*In honor of the late and great Kouji Wada who died last April 3rd of 2016 due to complications related to nasopharynx cancer, best known for performing theme songs for several installments of the very franchise's anime television series, including his recording debut in 1999 with his first and most famous single, "Butter-Fly", the theme song of
Digimon Adventure. What's more, his last single, "
Seven ~tri. Version~", was released only five days prior to his death.
History/Bio: As Takahiro and Sachiko Hamada (née Akashi)'s first and only child, despite this fact, he was given the name '
Shichirou', meaning 'Seventh Son'. It was told by a family friend to the father that the number 7 is an auspicious number for the family name. The father was the manager of a company that specializes in disaster preparedness while the mother is an active member of Sendai City's neighborhood association. Back then,
Shichirou spent balanced quality time with both his parents.
Back in August 1st 1999,
Shichirou, who was given the nickname '
Seven' for the first time at this point, got a laptop fit for his size as an early birthday present.
In the middle of his middle school days,
Seven was at his sanity's end when he had experienced bullying for the first time in his life due to his frail stature and his nerdiness, and decides to be home-schooled for a year. This was also the time when
Seven showed an attitude that is not like himself; that is, acting like a jerk, ignorant and overconfident. Decisively, he then asked both his parents to help him get into fitness and train to get into swimming to let him get back up on his feet and be what he was raised to become. Upon his return a year and a week later, now with a healthier physique and improved personality but still keeping his nerdiness,
Seven was now known to be the most decorated student in Sendai City, serving as a President of the Student Council, Computer and Swim Club. That day was Valentine's Day back in 2007, and his chocolate presents filled a whole classroom because of this 'transformation'...
In March 4th 2011,
Seven's mother Sachiko was having premonitions about an incoming disaster in a week. His father Takahiro took 3 days off from his company to put everything in the household in order and kept in their well-hidden disaster-proof basement. Some people in Sendai City (at this point, the Hamadas are now well-known throughout the city) listened to him and followed suit while most didn't.
Seven's reputation as a model student was put to the test when...
March 11th 2011. The earthquake and tsunami struck at around 2.46pm local time. The Hamadas took charge of the evacuations in their nearby community and helped all that they can non-stop until the dust (or the tide?) settled.
Seven's efforts were not in vain as thanks to his quick-thinking and disaster know-how taught to him by his respective 'Mom' and 'Dad', everyone in the campus were all accounted for and made it safely to higher ground in the evacuation center. Word spread all around the city, and most of the people made it safe and sound. The following days were spent to survive and await assistance from the government.
A week later,
Seven returned to what was left of their house and opened the basement door while the parents continued on with the relief efforts. Nearby, a certain Chiaki Matsuno (松野 千秋
Matsuno Chiaki) helped
Seven out on carrying the family essentials saved.
Seven doesn't know yet that his new friend is a son of a Yakuza boss. The Third Generation Matsuno Clan (三代目松野一家
Sandaime Matsuno-ikka), well known for wearing business attire with any article of clothing in green, spearheaded the efforts in the times when the assistance never arrived on time. This meeting with Chiaki also led to
Seven being influenced by the former's tomfoolery as a troll and a pervert.
Then a week and a day later in April 2nd, Takahiro Hamada honorably resigns from his company and made the decision to take the family to the Philippines to migrate there for good.
Seven was hesitant at first but he was given some time to say goodbye to his classmates in his first year of high school. Sachiko, being the proud and supportive mother that she is since her son's 'transformation', accompanied him.
Five days later, the Hamadas left Japan and arrived to the Philippine capital in Manila. A rough start at first such as finding a place to stay for long days and managing to avoid falling victim to petty criminals, the family got by with a little help from friendly Filipinos who were with them on the Tokyo-Manila flight.
And then another week later, the family set for Cebu. And in Mactan Island, the Hamadas set up their new home at a beachfront, thus living up to their family name meaning 'Beach Field'.
Seven decides to make their house an all-around hang-out by the sea. The place eventually grew into a well-known luxury beach resort in the province, the
NanaZuika Sugbu. During this time,
Seven is in accelerated education in University of the Philippines Cebu High School. At first it was hard that besides the obvious language barrier and the trauma he still had from the earthquake and tsunami, most of
Seven's classmates began to crowd around him being a foreigner, which became a challenge, until one day,
Seven was given by his classmates a different kind of culture convergence in a special event arranged by the school. This somehow helped lessen his traumatic experience and instead awaken again his passion for excellence in learning and his swimming. However...
...there's more to
Seven's name than just the mere number itself...
