Kanata Shinkai/History

__TOC__
==Early Years==
As a child, Kanata lived a reclusive and highly-secure life, being born as the child of the current living God of his religion. Upon her passing away, the security only tightened with him taking her place as the religion's living God.
He lived under a variety of lifestyle restrictions, such as wearing a mask over his eyes to restrict his vision, and would not be allowed to cut his hair. He practiced shōjin kessai, a purification ritual of abstain from consumption of food or certain foods for the sake of purifying the soul and body.ABYSS - The Ocean of ■ That Drips Downwards 3
He group in large and spacious rural mansion, where worshippers and maids would look after him. His meals were intricately prepared and would typically be of freshly prepared fish, both fish for viewing and eating living on the premises. The mansion contained a large outdoor garden which featured a shallow pond for swimming, and a luxurious outdoor bath comparable to one of a luxury inn.at home
Madara was both his childhood friend and caretaker, with the Mikejimas being historically designated caretakers of "God". They often played house together and Madara often play-acted for his entertainment, with Kanata being particularly fond of his "ally of justice" performances.ABYSS- The Ocean of ■ That Drips Downwards 6 As Kanata was often secluded to his tatami mat room, he would often smuggle in candy and interesting magazines to help ease Kanata's boredom. A lot of these magazines would be idol magazines, which caught Kanata's eye.Flowers of the Wasteland While Kanata was aware that what Madara was doing for him was against the rules, he would typically continue to ask Madara to ease his boredom in such ways.ABYSS 
It was later discovered that Kanata's mother's passing away was only a front, and that she had secretly escaped the religion to move elsewhere with the help of some members, and she had attempted to take Kanata with too. However, it was ultimately decided that she would leave him behind. She entrusted him with her empty urn to leave a part of her behind with him.
As time passed, Madara would regularly break the religions rules in order to treat Kanata as a human. While forgiven for his wrongdoings temporarily while they were younger, his misdemeanors eventually added up to where his life was threatened if he would not adhere to the rules. Fearful of Madara losing his life, Kanata became determined to find a way to get Madara to stop acting drastically for him. This eventually manifested as Kanata deluding that he detested Madara and wanted him out of his life, and resulted in a long period of depersonalization as he entered high school.Stella Maris
Upon entering Yumenosaki Academy in his first year, Kanata had long hair that went slightly past his shoulders. He often felt lost and confused as he could not fit in with those around him and was used to a lifestyle where nearly everything was done for him. He first met Chiaki in his first year at the school pool, where Chiaki reminded him what heroes are.Meteor Impact

While still feeling lost upon entering his second year, he was able to find companionship through the Five Eccentrics. He was able to understand early on that he and the others were being targeted, but found it natural for himself, as those in his bloodline were historically "consumed to purge evils".Altered 
He was executed as an eccentric through the Battle of the Sea God, where he battled against AKATSUKI. He arrived late to the venue alongside Chiaki, having freshly abandoned his Godhood and joined RYUSEITAI, which caused him to lose by default against AKATSUKI. However, both units continued to then perform against each other nonetheless as idols.

It was this year that RYUSEITAI recruited Tetora, Midori, and Shinobu. While incredibly distant at first, Kanata was troubled on how to interact with the first years. Throughout the year, Kanata grew to know RYUSEITAI's juniors and learn much from them, and began to rediscover the feelings he once held regarding becoming a hero.
