Kamenoko University: Kamioka Hiro

Strong

Mentally (and physically) strong, Hiro is the calm and reserved type and can be often seen with a bored, neutral expression. Even if he is angered or upset, he will rarely show it, opting to a more mature image instead.

Silent

If he is not spoken to, it is unlikely that Hiro will speak himself. Preferring to reply with simple "un"'s and "ah"'s along with body gestures, he's not the kind to jump about and start conversations with people.

Honest

Though he could easily deceive people with his stoic nature, Hiro is instead honest. He will give you his honest opinion if asked, but be warned that his honesty borderlines bluntness.

Irresponsibly forgetful

Should you ask him for a favour, don't be surprised if he forgets it. Unless it's important, such as assignments and such, you may want to lower your expectations with Hiro. You can also count on him to be a good 15-30 minutes late to whatever it is you organised with him.

Born to a family of four, Hiro was the youngest and only son. His father was rarely home, often busy with his demanding job as a police officer, and as such Hiro grew up influenced by his older sister and mother. As the "baby" of the family, Hiro's mother loved to dote on him and his sister would always treat him as her "baby brother" no matter how old he got, or how much taller he eventually got compared to her.

Hiro wasn't always so quiet and reserved. In fact, he was a normal boy, expressing emotions like any other kid. However, as he used to be overweight as a child, he was often the target for bullies. Sick and tired of it all, Hiro began to change when he entered middle school. Instead of that fun kid he used to be, Hiro became more and more reserved as a result of his attempt to ignore peoples' comments and remarks. But still, the bullying continued.

High school. With the opportunity to start fresh and anew at his reach, that's exactly what Hiro chose to do. He worked on losing weight, toning his body until no one could complain about it while keeping his grades up to standard. And, it was here that he met someone who would change his future; a girl who was paralysed from the waist down. Like Hiro, she was also often bullied for her disability as a child, and as such, the two quickly became close friends. It was this fateful encounter that first sparked his interest in neurobiology. With new aspirations of specialising in this field, Hiro worked hard to boost his grades for a better chance in making his dream come true.

Now a second year student in neurobiology, 21 year old Hiro faces a problematic situation. Originally studying at a prestigious medical university, Hiro is forced to transfer to a university closer to home as his mother has fallen sick, and he is needed to care for her when his father and sister can't. With the hopes to continue on his dream to becoming a brain surgeon, Hiro applies to Kamenoko University, a renowned university which is also closer to home, in hopes to achieving his goal.

TBA

Since he was 18, Hiro has helped around his sister's boutique, which sells both womens' and mens' clothing, on the weekends and during semester breaks for the money and the work experience for a year. Aside from this casual job, Hiro has not worked elsewhere and is currently unemployed.

• When he is in awe or extremely interested, his mouth will hang a little open and his eyes will shine. Other than this, he retains his same stoic expression.
• His favourite sweets are chocolate truffles.
• A sucker for tears.
• Very fond of his sister, though he denies it.
