Orientation: Straight

History: wikia.
Appearance: this beautiful mug right here.
Personality:

Born to the owners of a textile shop it was only natural for Kanji to take certain interests in craft making and sewing. When he was younger he preferred home economics to physical education and would rather play house than play catch. When he was in primary school Kanji offered to mend a girl's bag, he did it so she would be happy. But as soon as their classmates (the girls in particular) found out about it they started making fun of them and his hobby.

Thanks to this childhood ridicule, and quite possibly the passing of his father, Kanji changes his appearance to seem more manlier and scarier. He adopted a crew cut style haircut, bleached his hair, pierced his ears and nose, and got a skull head complete with the crossbones tattooed on one of his arms. He also started wearing more black, things with skulls, and leather jackets to complete his look. Along with the new found look he develops a more angrier attitude. He's very short tempered and reacts to most things by cursing or yelling. He hates being judged by people too, policemen especially. They can take one look at him and automatically think that he was bullying or roughing someone up. In fact his looks are actually pretty deceiving. Kanji is a gentle soul, despite the in-your-face front he has up most of the time. Ironically enough, Kanji is rather fond of cute things and openly expresses on numerous occasions how much he wants to touch Teddie's fur.

He has a constant fear of being rejected or getting hurt so he spent most of his time pushing people away. This all changes as soon as he meets Naoto Shirogane. Naoto was the first person Kanji truly felt comfortable with. Unfortunately, since he thought that Naoto was a boy in the beginning, this sparked a questioning of his sexual orientation. In his dungeon Kanji's true shadow represents his inner questioning of his sexuality and being unsure about the opposite sex. His shadow said that he preferred men, but, in reality he was just scared of being rejected by both sexes.

Prior his joining of the Investigation Team, Kanji hardly attended school. He saw no point in it if he he was just going to be stared at or accused by King Moron. So because of this he isn't as smart as the others. Kanji is also nosocomephobic. Nosocomephobia is the fear of hospitals. He hasn't liked them since the death of his father and he can get extremely antsy while inside one.

Another thing that drove Kanji was his obsession with becoming a true man. Before his father died he asked Kanji to find out what being a real man means. There were times when he thought he had figured out what it was his old man had meant, but things kept knocking him down. It isn't until the end that he's finally able to realize what being a man truly means. A real man is a male who does everything at one hundred percent.

Give the boy a sewing needle and some type of thread and Kanji can go to town with it. Not only is he good with doll making, but, he's also good at mending any type of clothing as well. He can also whip out any kind of craft with any of your basic school/house supplies; a good example of this would be what he did with Nanako's school project. Crafting and sewing aside, he's also an excellent fighter. Fist fighting or chair fighting, he can take names and kick some major ass. He is also very determined in battle and generally won't back down easily. He also generally cares about his friends and will do just about anything to ensure their happiness. And hey, if someone's picking on them he's got their back in a heartbeat.

Kanji isn't the brightest crayon in the crayon box. Due to his constant skipping he's behind in most of his classes, and because of this it takes him a little while longer to understand complex situations or questions. He's also still a little awkward when it comes to the case of making new friends, girls especially. He has the tendency to face a wall, or turn away from the girl entirely if things get out of his comfort zone. Kanji also has a very short temper, and if he thinks you're insulting him he will confront you immediately. Kanji also has a weakness to cute things and will probably lose track of thought (or whatever he was doing in general) in order to hold whatever the cute object is.

Abilites:

He can summon Rokuten Maoh and he can use a number of electric/physical attacks in the TV world, but that doesn't really do him much in the real world. Outside the TV world he can hold his own in a fight or two or three or-- yeah okay, you get the point. He can also swing around school furniture like it's nothing!!

Other:

He likes collecting animal crackers in hopes he'll get the super rare penguin. He also has some kind of talent in peeling the wrappers off of Topsicle bars. He's a bit of a neat freak and really hates cockroaches. His social groups on his phone are: Let's Sewing, Knitting Cafe, Delicious Shops in Inaba, and I Like Hawaiian Quilts. I'm... not exactly sure what his last social group is supposed to mean, but whatever makes him happy.
