## Profile

> "키보가미네 학원의 학생으로 별다른 재능이 없는 평범한 학생. 그런 그가 키보가미네 학원에 입학하게 된 이유는 평범한 고교생들을 대상으로한 **추첨**에서. 운좋게 선발된 **단 한명의 행운아** 이기 때문이다. 포용력이 좋아 남들과 쉽게 친해지는 성격을 가지고 있으나 가끔 둔감한 모습을 보여주기도 한다." **- Official Profile**

### Design

Little is known about Kazuki's conception. In a now deleted post, Team MonoLab shared the beta designs of several of the participants before the release of the game. Kazuki's beta and final design are near-identical to each other. Kazuki's design was based on a mixture of Makoto Naegi and Hajime Hinata from the main games.

### Name Etymology

Kazuki's surname is written with the Kanji 渡 ('Watana') which means 'transit', and 辺 ('Be') which means 'environs'. His first name is written with the Kanji 数 ('Kazu') which means 'number' or 'strength', and 記 ('Ki') which means 'narrative'.

## Appearance

Kazuki is a tall highschool student with peach pink eyes and dark navy blue hair. The bangs of his hair are parted to the side of his face and rests over his ear, partially obscuring it, making his hair appear to be longer on this side in comparison to the other. He has a pointy ahoge protruding from the back of his head, which bends to the left side of his head.

Kazuki outfit resembles that of a school uniform, although some modifications were made by him. Over top a white dress shirt, Kazuki wears a dark blue cardigan jacket with rolled up sleeves, white buttons, and pockets along the ends. His dress shirt is untucked and is partially obscured by a large gray tie, with the emblem of his previous highschool printed along the end of it. He also wears a pair of dark brown pants and a pair of black and white sneakers.
