== Charactah Account ==
A former child prodigy in playing piano. He lost the ability to play the piano after his mother died of illness when he was 11, leaving him with a trauma that prevents him from hearing the sound of his own playing. He lives in a "colorless world" until Kaori shows up and makes him play the piano again.
As a child, Kousei was calm and obedient. When he is not hanging out with Ryota Watari and Tsubaki Sawabe, Kaori Miyazono he spends most of his day alone in his thoughts. This dense characteristic makes him oblivious to what is going on around him. For instance, he does not notice the rivalry and resentment his fellow piano competitors had for him nor Tsubaki's crush on him. He also stares at Kaori for long, thinking how great of a person she is, which she misinterprets as him having perverted thoughts of her.
Kousei admires Kaori because she is opposite; he wishes to become more free-spirited like her. The closer Kousei and Kaori get, the more his feelings for her deepen and the more he opens up to other people. She helps him build his confidence and convinces him to perform again.
