PERSONALITY SUMMARY: Ko's a cheerful little guy and usually doesn't let a lot get him down, but when something hits him, he really takes it hard. His heart is soft and even the slightest tune on a television advertisement can bring tears welling to his eyes. He knows that is rediculous so he does vigorous self training sessions by watching soaps and the womens network. He is unusual but is the person who will be there by your side through anything. When chosen to be a friend, he is the most loyal and honest one out there and will tell you the truth even if it hurts... but if it does hurt he'll take you for ice cream after. He has always been the nice guy. He has only been truly angry three times in his sixteen years of life, and surprisingly he is one scary person when he is angry. It's a calm and silent anger that bites you when you least expect it and in the hardest way. So he is not one to just push around (even if that in itself is really easy to do.) His character overall is quite submissive and he's just in general, a sweety.

HISTORY SUMMARY:
Ko was born into the Hayashi line in Aomi, to loving parents Takao and Hanako. He has two younger siblings who are twins, Kiyoki and Daisuke, that joined him in this life when he was three years old. Life for him was normal as it was and is for all kids growing up. His parents weren't rich but they weren't exactly in the poor house either. They lived a comfortable life that allowed for Ko and his siblings to aquire the odd little trinket here and there when it was just for kicks. Everyone in the family got on well, and Ko was always very very close to his siblings when he lived at home. He still gets along with them well, of course he keeps in touch via email and facebook, Skype too and on the holidays.

When he was in school he excelled in many of his classes and came out the top of his English class. He got a rush from learning the language and felt proud of himself most of all when he helped a couple of lost tourists find their way through to their hotel when he was no more then thirteen years old. But when he was fourteen things took off at such a rate he could barely catch his breath. The year went by so fast that he couldn't blink without missing something important. Visa's needed to be sorted, his passport completed. His record had to be transferred and most of all, he had to spend the next while saying good bye to all of his friends and family. His school had felt it would be interesting to exchange him to a school in America, and this was how he wound up in Northridge. When he was 15 he started his year in the school as an exchange student staying with the Howards. Originally it was only supposed to be one year, but things went so well his parents decided to keep him enrolled to finish his schooling there.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
There was a slight nip in the air, but it was nothing that he couldn't handle. This was just nature reminding him to watch himself. He drew in a deep breath and let the cool air fill his lungs completely before he expelled it into the air around him. At this point, breathing was simply habit he had yet to shake. In fact, he wasn't sure he wanted to shake the habit. The young male carefully placed his feet on the sidewalk beneath him as he sauntered down the street with no real aim. Window shopping was truly what it could be called. He wasn't intending to buy anything as he walked passed the brightly lit windows, he was mostly just browsing to see if there was something he might want to add to his club or maybe to his home.

Lately he had been spending a lot of time within the confines of his home and fortress, tucked away from the sights of the city and problems. A nice place to sort out the chaos and just relax. He tugged up the collar of his close fitting jacket and pulled slightly at the hemmed sleeve cuffs, it was a bad habit that he needed to get rid of. A hand quickly brushed through his hair, letting the strands fall between the long fingers of his delicate hand as he pushed a few soft locks from his face before he set his hand to his pocket again and slipped it within like the other. Something was gnawing at his conscience. Probably the fact that he had been slacking off in his training, but that wasn't really his fault. He shouldered the blame onto being too busy with the club and other frivolous activities that distracted him with the greatest ease imaginable.

It was strange how he could keep so level headed and focused but the next second become air headed and ditsy. It all depended on the circumstance he supposed. It was as good as guess as anyone would ever come up with. If not that, then maybe he had some kind of attention disorder. A blink. He hoped not, that would be terrible and would probably mean meds because that was how every problem was solved these days. It was a bit out of hand. Well dash it all. If he had an attention problem... then that meant everything needed to be more interesting to command his focus and attention. If not, then that wasn't his fault. A soft smile picked up the corners of his mouth as he considered such a thing and chuckled a little to himself. He rounded the nearest corner and made a straight B-line to the shop window that always brought him a smile.

He peered into the window and admired all of the small trinkets and jewels that lay cradled in beds of velvet and silk of reds, blues and blacks. Beautiful. It would be a powerful lie. Yasuo always had an eye for pretty things and diamonds. Even his armour when training, needed to be something beautiful, or he'd have a hard time finding justice in fitting himself into the protective attire. There was one locket that he looked at every time he came to this store. He had enough money to purchase it himself, but for some reason he felt he needed something he could just stare at and desire, but not own it. Call him silly, stupid or whatever other colourful name you can think of, but it was a fanciful thing that he had no problem with. Such a wonderful shop window. But this evening, he wasn't going to just stand here. He decided that a window shopping trip was going to turn into something more. Like a literal purchase in the bag, so he opened the door and stepped inside, the small bell above the door alerting the shop keep of his arrival. Time to browse for a purchase.



[added note: Ko has no middle name because the Japanese don't tend to have them, that's why I am using a nickname for his middle name.]
