CHARACTER Name: Oshitari Kenya Journal:naniwaspeed Appearance: Not much has changed about Kenya from canon. He filled out a little bit, but he’s still got the body of a runner, lanky and slender. You will have to pry the bleach out from his dead, cold hands, so there won’t be a return of chestnut-hair Kenya any time soon.
Personality: Kenya hasn’t changed much from middle school. He’s still full of energy, bubbly, and is always down for a little friendly competition - in particular if it means that he gets to show off how fast he really is.
He’s very easy to rile up, and he won’t back down from a challenge. If you challenge him to eating a spicy bowl of ramen in three minutes, he’s on it. He has a tendency to collect things, namely small, cute erasers that are carefully packed in organized containers (colors, and designs, and animals, and weather, and foods, and… the list goes on), and Hello Kitty memoriabilia from the various places he’s travelled around the country over the years.
Family is important to him. He’s been close to Yuushi his whole life and has struggled with separation anxiety, in particular after Yuushi moved away in middle school. The impending stress of school and feeling like the chance of failure or disappointing the family was high left him feeling a little anxious over pursuing his medical degree, but overall he doesn’t have the time to dwell on it between being with his cousin and friends, studying, and keeping focused on his physical activities.
Ultimately he’s a fun-loving person who you can’t take anywhere for his fashion sense is rather… interesting at best.
Biography: In true Oshitari fashion, Kenya knew that it was expected that he would one day pursue an education in medicine. Despite the feeling of heavy family obligations, he did have the genuine desire to pursue pediatrics, and so it didn’t really require much of a stretch of the imagination that he would follow the path laid out for him. While in his late-second year of Shitenhouji for high school, he realized that he was going to have to get started if he had any chance of getting in the competitive medicine program.
So as to not be ~that cousin~, he had always assumed that he too would enroll in Handai, cry lots of tears and drink many beers through medical school, and then hopefully enter the workforce a prepared man for the real world of a practicing pediatritian. However, it was when he began to study for the Handai entrance exams (catching an early start on tears and beers), when Yuushi announced that he was pursuing nursing school in Tokyo instead. Despite the gentle suggestions from his parents and his brother’s insistance that he was going to be a failure of an Oshitari if he followed the footsteps of Yuushi, Kenya decided that he didn’t want to go through university without his favorite cousin and completely changed his focus to enter medical school in Tokyo instead. It was entirely by coincidence that Shiraishi also intended on moving to Tokyo, but it made the transition easier to have his best friend nearby.
So as to not leave Yuushi all alone in his family home, when Kenya moved to Tokyo to attend Toudai, he moved in with Yuushi. It was free rent and it allowed plenty of space for Speedy to roam around (and she loved the sunny spot that was in what used to be Aunty’s bedroom). As to be expected, through many tears and beers he somehow managed to make it to his third year without dropping out (miraculously). In an effort to keep himself sane, he took up a spot on the tennis team because he can’t sit still for more than five seconds, and his favorite place to go running is near Mikiya because the off chance he can bug Zaizen.
As of Winter break, Kenya and Yukari started a relationship that is kept super, super on the down low, and while the distance sucked and now they're closer together, there is a whole new set of complications that come in the form of absolutely-not-going-to-tell-big-brothers-slash-best-friends.
RP Samples: I’m not saying that there’s only 85 more days until the start of summer vacation, but…

There’s only 85 days left until summer vacation! ☆ ～('▽^人)
Not that I’m counting down the days. Never. Why would I be doing that? It certainly wouldn’t be because I’m REALLY OVER UNIVERSITY excited for the tennis season to start in earnest, right? Right. That’d be silly.
Someone come save me from the mound of textbooks that are taking up MY ENTIRE BED my room. Eventually Speedy’s gonna have to stay in Yuushi’s room. Sorry, ‘cuz. Well, actually, not really. She loves you just as much as she loves me. ♥
