Nickname(s): Kio, pork-bun(s)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Appearance: Shin stands at a steady 5'9", his build is lean being just athletic enough for your average teenage boy. His hair is a unique shade of brown that appears a deep violet in the right light. He's highlighted the tips of his hair a lighter shade of violet to bring out the color since it's his favorite. He 'suffers' from a very rare genetic disorder of the eyes called; 'Heterochromia Iridium', or put simply his eyes are two different colors. What makes his variation so different is that both of his eyes hold two different shades. The lower 1/3 of his eyes are a shade of red that contrast to his purple eyes. Depending on his mood, you see more red or more purple. He's always had them, and has creeped some people out in the past because of it. On his left arm are numerous scars from when he use to self harm in his early years at Airdalen. He usually wears long sleeve shirts, but has stopped going out of his way to hide them, he's come to terms with the fact that they are now a part of him.
Personality: Shin is very kind and even vibrant for having gone through all that he has. If you want to know, you'll have to get to know him to find out how he's grown stronger from his past but it's apparent that now Tadashi has 'found himself' in this world. He has a calm and observant demeanor, never coming off as stand-offish nor arrogant. He's a very humbled, quiet and polite individual that was forged through a year of self-exploration. His view on things can come off as.... Dark and contrasting. He makes it a point to see issues or topics from a 'light' and 'dark' perspective in order to fully understand the whole picture. He isn't without his demons however. He struggles with depression and can get angry very quickly if something severely bothers him. He's learned to hide his emotions, waiting to let them out in private where no one can see. He also uses music to project how he feels, with the songs he's writing showing strong contrasts and melodies very true to his nature. Despite however, all of the negatives and his personal issues Tadashi enjoys the company of people. He can grow tired of constantly being in someone's company, but he makes a great effort to be a good host and accommodating to people in his home or with people he's with. If you make him have a genuine smile, it's something that he won't easily forget.
Tadashi is very spiritual. If you ask him if there's a certain religion he practice's, he wouldn't be able to tell you. But he does believe in fate, karma and 'mystic' forces in the world that bind and guide everything from animals to plants. This translates into his music with cryptic messages, which could be seen as singing about a person or 'something else'. He respects all religions and does go to the local temples and shrines to leave charms and small amounts of money for good fortune. This also means that he's superstitious, not to an extreme point but if someone were to pay attention it's noticeable. He doesn't kill bugs when your average person would, he knows all of the Japanese folk lore stories and urban legends. Especially the creepy ones. He keeps his beliefs to himself knowing that in this day and age they might be unpopular by others, but in his lifetime he's seen and felt things guide him through the world.

Background: Tadashi attended his freshmen and sophomore year at Airdalen Academy before moving away. During his time at high school Tadashi was far from popular. Being labeled as; 'weird', 'creepy', a loner, a loser and all sorts of negative names he had no friends of which to speak of or to. He was picked on in class and bullied for his pudgy appearance by his classmates who usually were shining examples of Japan's elite and unique both in appearance and grandeur. He kept quiet and remained to himself, usually eating lunch in the back of the school or a vacant stair well. In school he was physically weak and smaller than the other boys, leaving many to tease about how he hadn't hit 'puberty' yet saying he would always be this way. But he never believed it, no matter what they said. The only thing that seemed to truly make him happy was music. He never participated in any clubs, but regular had private music lessons or studied on his on to build and hone his craft. His first love was the drums, then moving to the piano and finally guitar. He had a natural ability to play music using that as an outlet for his yet infant level of depression for his troubles in school.
It was late in his sophomore year that a tragedy struck his family. Tadashi's little brother in the 7th grade had committed suicide for being bullied about being gay. This completely devastated his family, but especially Tadashi because he was the only one that new about his brother's sexual orientation. From that day onward he never smiled again at the school and was scarcely a presence there at all. His grades began to slip slightly stooping into a deep depression. His parents' relationship began to erode after the incident slowly dividing them both worsening Tadashi's mental and emotional strain. But he still had music. It was then that his father has become elected to become the Japanese ambassador for Canada and moved bringing Tadashi with him, both his father and mother thought that the change of scenery would be good for him. Being able to get away from the bullies and somehow try to deal with the trauma they were all feeling. His mother stayed behind in Japan.
Tadashi took a little over a year to study and live in Canada, leaving almost immediately after the year ended and transferred into the foreign school system. Over the course of time Tadashi met a group of teenagers his age that helped him through his journey in discovering himself. Slowly his self-esteem rose, as well as his music ability. He started to regularly attend music festivals, concerts and other free venues to listen, play and share his love for music. Tadashi finally began to bloom and turn into a handsome young man, getting taller and thinning out into his current appearance. His health improved both physically, mentally and emotionally which made an impact on his life. Tadashi admits that music saved his life, fully immersing himself in it being able to recover from his downward spiral and spread his wings. A friend coined the turn; 'you're like the black swan meets the ugly duckling...' He found this very appropriate.
For his senior year, Tadashi had decided that he needed to come back to Japan as well as Airdalen Academy to finish his education. Not just for the sake of grades, but also for himself. He wanted to show his strength by coming back to where his troubles started and breaking down the barriers.

Strengths:
Music: Tadashi's extensive years of private music lessons and studying music as well as music theory honed his already gifted abilities to turn him into an exemplary musician. He plays the drums best, seconded by piano, guitar and finally the cello. He plays, sings and writes his own music with the aspirations to play professionally.
His voice: Once puberty hit Tadashi, his voice changed and developed into a unique pitch and sound. He sings beautifully both in Japanese and English and is currently taking singing instruction to add more power and depth to his abilities. He's considered doing voice work, but isn't committing.
Impersonations: With his skills in singing, he learned a clever trick to impersonate a wide range of voices. He's mimicked his father, friends, famous character from shows or movies. He uses it sometimes to play innocent jokes on people.
Thought process: Tadashi's time in Canada had him reflecting on himself and a lot about himself. He had become very self aware about not only his strengths but weaknesses, having sought out a therapist for his issues. He thinks deeply about a lot of things and asks questions that matter.
People Reading: Tadashi is still learning to analyze properly but he has a keen sense of being able to read people, thinking about why they act the wat they do and what motivates them. This could lead someone to think he has malicious intent, but in his journey to better understand himself he has a deep desire to understand other people.
Talking: Tadashi has a knack for speaking very eloquently. He likes to choose his words carefully and means everything he says (except for his jokes and puns).
Weaknesses:
Depression: Tadashi suffers from diagnosed depression. The situation he was living with at school, combined by the loss of his brother had been a great deal for the young man to deal with. He's learning to deal with his depression and truly does enjoy life and all that it brings but sometimes it gets the better of him and he can't help it. He's still seeing a therapist to tackle this burden.
Old reputation: The fact that everyone who knows him knows his history at Airdalen and might be judging him because of it.
Decisions: He sometimes takes an unnecessary long time to make a decision that he deems his important.
Intelligence: His intellect isn't very normal. For how smart he speaks and thinks, his grades are actually just a little above average giving off a bad impression for those who base intelligence solely off of what the school measures.
Animals: Especially baby ones.

Family:
Father: Ryokama Kiomine- comfortable/formal relationship
Ryokama is a moderately known politician, he's most known for international affairs in the west in regards to trade, defense and many other issues. He's a practical man that has a tendency to believe too much of what he says and can become entrenched in a point of view for the sake of making a point during an argument even if he's very wrong. Despite this, he tends to show how much he cares for his remaining son through actions, though he's too proud to openly speak on his feelings. He can share a conversation with Tadashi easily but they sometimes run out of things to talk about. He's still serving his term in Canada as the Japanese ambassador.
Mother: Nagisa Hironumera- comfortable/relaxed relationship
Shozue and Tadashi were extremely close brother that always got along, even as little kids. Their parents were envied by all of their friends for the boys' behavior. Shozue grew up always being 'different' until early in his his 6th grad year that he mde the self-realization that he wasgay. This prompted an onslaught of severe bullying from his class mates. Both in person and 'anonymously' online. He regularly confided to his older brother, trusting him with his secret although it weighed in on him very much as such a young age. In 7th grade Shozue unfortunately could no longer deal with the mental an emotional anguish of his abusers and decided to end his life.
Music Teacher: Sasuke Harumas- student/teacher relationship
Sasuke or 'Mr Harumas', is Tadashi's music teacher and singing coach. The adept man is an accomplished opera singer and musical company director. He serves some other ancillary functions similar to a butler but Tadashi insists on not calling him him such. Sasuke is a patient yet very clever man, having a deep knowledge in music as well as teaching as well as mentoring young pupils who aspire to be stars in the music world. His interest in Tadashi is as much professional as it is personal finding Tadashi the most interesting of his pupils. It's just common enough to not appear strange seeing the adult driving Tadashi around or preparing a meal for him. Even though he serves in a serving capacity, Tadashi's appreciation is always present and obvious. He's implored to never cook his ward a meal unless there is enough for himself.
