CHARACTER
Name: Tooyama Kintarou
Journal: [personal profile] takoyakin
Appearance: Puberty hit Kintarou like an eighteen-wheeler going at 200kph. He's 176cm tall and, though he still has a relatively scrappy build, he's obviously an athlete. He's what the kids call "ripped." He's grown his hair out a little longer and attempts (key word: attempts) to tame it into a short ponytail. His face is somewhere on the cusp between cute and handsome (until he opens his mouth, at which point it just becomes annoying).

Personality: He's matured since middle school, but he's still as excitable as ever. A lot can change in six years, but a lot stays the same. He has a tendency to keep talking even when nobody is listening and tries to pursue friendships long after the other party has rebuffed him. Children love him and he loves them back. Although he's gained plenty of respect and established himself as a key player on the Japanese tennis scene, he's also a notorious maverick and had difficulty being scouted, as few wanted to handle a personality as forceful as his. He has an extremely unfortunate love for memes.

Biography: Kintarou has never held a leadership position, even on the tennis court. Nobody with eyes, not even Osamu, would trust him with one. His parents cracked down on him in high school and he started to attend tutoring sessions to get his other subjects up to a passable level. He's the first in his family to attend a university, but he's only managed to because Keio scouted him, one of the top ranked high school players in the nation, to play for one of its tennis clubs. He's currently majoring in Education Studies, mostly for the opportunity to work with kids.

Kintarou is attempting to mitigate his debt with a combination of need-based scholarships and two part-time jobs: one as a busboy at an Osakan restaurant near Mikiya Mansion, where he resides (his parents deemed him unfit for living with a roommate), and one as an assistant instructor at a tennis school. The restaurant mainly pays him in free food.

He plans to go pro after he graduates (although he frequently considers dropping out of university and preemptively going pro). He's primarily going to university because his parents insisted after he was given the opportunity to attend Keio.
