Kaimin

Kaimin is an Inktoling that lives in Splatsville. He is in a band called Sweet Zone, along with an Inkling named Toran and her pet ghost crab Bonbon.

## Appearance

Kaimin is a somewhat tall Inktoling with pale skin. He has dark-ish blue eyes with darker blue pupils. He has three tentacles in his humanoid form, two tied on the back of his head in the Topknot style, and one on the front side of his face like the Punk. His ink color is Magenta. Under his mahogany jacket (which had bright blue triangles and streaks), he wears a simple white v-neck shirt. His pants are blue with electric yellow marks on the sides and on the bottom of the pant legs, which cover his rich brown bottomed black shoes. He has a small 'cape' that goes out behind him, which is slightly see through and glows. His eyemask looks like that of an Inkling but thins out to points in the middle. Upturned oval eyebrows give him a constant worried or nervous expression. The markings on his tentacles are a pale pink. His ears generally rest a bit lower than a usual Ink/Octo/Inktoling's would.

## Personality

Kaimin is a somewhat nervous guy who usually leaves most of the talking to Toran. Despite being socially awkward, he's really a sweet guy and is rarely rude. When alone it's harder for him to muster up the courage to talk to someone.

## Relationships

### Toran

Kaimin and his Inkling bandmate are very close. They met during a Clam Blitz match where Toran ended up helping him and after that they met up almost every day. He's amazed by how confident and sure of herself she is, and when he's around her he feels like he can be more of himself. Kaimin definitely has feelings for her, but he's afraid that if he says something it'll mess up their friendship. He wants to ask if they could be more than friends, but he can't seem to find the confidence to bring himself to ask. However they're still good friends, so he feels there's no rush.

### Bonbon

Bonbon wasn't a fan of Kaimin when they first met. But as Kaimin started meeting up with Toran more, he started warming up to him. They're currently on good terms, but no where near as close as Bonbon is with Toran.
