## *Introduction*

Matsouka Touma, or Touma Matsouka is a Japanese full blood wizard born from his full Japanese parents, namely Matsouka Keito and Matsouka Mirei (ne Arakawa). Touma is born the twenty-first of December 2003, in Tokyo Japan. Shortly after receiving their first child, the Matsouka family moved abroad to the United Kingdom for their news jobs. Touma's mom was known to be a skilled auror at the Japanese ministry, while his dad worked as a cursebreaker in the same office. Both of them have died continuing their work at the English ministry.

## *Biography*

### *Early life*

Being raised in a Japanese household, Touma has grown up with the standard Japanese work ethic, as well as the cultural norms of bowing, always saying thank you and respecting eldery. Moving to the United Kingdom at the age of four, resulted in a more controlled way of parenting. The Matsouka's trained Touma together when he was little, really drilling hard work and dedication into him. The training would not stop until Touma collapsed due to exhaustion. He remembers these parts from his childhood well. Opposed to what one may believe, he values these times greatly especially after his parents passed away. Being pushed made him strong and better than others, that's what he truly believed. From this age onwards, Touma always felt extremely pressured to perform well. Losing was never an option for him and because of this constant training he never did.

Touma's parents took pride in their family name. In Japan, **being a Matsouka brought importance and honour** to them because of their family history of contributing to society in a great manner. His grandparents also worked with the ministry, where his granddad once took the title of Head officer. Noticably, Touma was Mirei's and Keito's only child, which ultimately increased the pressure put on his shoulders. He never really got the chance to be young, always expectant of outcompeting his classmates at Mahoutokoro (Japanese wizarding school located in Minami Iwo Jima)

### *Performance at school*

At the age of ten, Touma was already competing in the Junior Wizarding schools Potions championships, since Mahoutokoro let young wizards join from the age of seven onwards. By the age of thirteen, Touma already succeeded in succesfully producing a corporeal patronus. Hard work resulted in great recognition, and that Touma realised. He never hesitated to use someone whenever he needed, using his charm to get his way. He took pride in his achievements and always worked hard to get wherever his goal was aimed at. Getting praised by his parents is what he wanted most, so when he did he felt like he succeeded. This took a turn when his parents passed away at the age of twelve.

### *Parents death*

Mirei and Keito were extremely caught up in their work, constantly working overtime. Keito got promoted shortly after moving to the United Kingdom, but other than the benefits that came with, it also resulted in exhaustion and burn out. This stress stemming from working overtime clashed when Touma did not succeed to top his class. He got punished badly, his stressed dad beating him until he drew blood. **''How could you put such shame to the family''** these words stung deep. His eyes filled up with tears as he layed there with a broken nose. He sweared he would work twice as hard to regain his parents approval. Ultimately, when both Matsouka's were involved in a case of catching a dark wizard for commiting multiple unforgivable crimes, their skill could not overcome the negative effects tiredness brought with it. Keito tried to protect his wife by apparating before the spell that the wizard casted. His protection spell was not strong enough, the death curse reaching Keito's body. Seeing her husband die before her eyes, gained her enough power to cast one last spell at the dark wizard, capturing him. When the chains of her spell entangled the wizard, he would commit another crime by killing Mirei also. Because of his parents dedication to their jobs and work, Touma blames rules and the ministry to be responsible for their deaths.

## *Personality*

This standard of perfection made Touma's **arrogance** prominent in his personality. He carries an attitude of **superiority** manifested in an overbearing manner in presumptuous claims. His **smug** expression and matching **confidence** exerts from his body posture. Even so, Touma hides it perfectly at first sight. He comes across as **charming** and can be **overbearing** due to his tendency to insist on being in charge. Touma is **extroverted, assertive** and does not mind to be the center of attention. Due to his charisma, people seem to like him firstly. This would be the time to get close with individuals Touma wants something from, charming them more. In addition to this, he is fairly observant and watches people closely to examine his next move. Touma doesn't obey rules and finds them unecessary, he also has a twisted sense of right and wrong. A side of him that's rarely shown, is Touma's **insecurity.** Deep down the need of proving himself makes him doubt his capabilities. It is hard to say if Touma truly has a good heart since the impact of the death of his parents left an empty hole.

## *Physical Appearance*

Touma is a handsome man reaching 178 centimeters. His asian features are very complimentary to eachother. His black hair differs in its length, as he sometimes lets it grow. Then, he would part it in the middle, making his sharp jaw stand out. When shorter, he would part it the same way, letting it hang a bit over his eyes, or he would slick it back. His eyes normally expressed cockiness, but when speaking to someone a curious sparkle lingered together with a charming smile. Touma dresses to impress which is noticable, combining it often with darker colours.  He is quite fit and has a bit of muscle from practising sports.

### *Trivia*

* Matsouka means ''pine tree hill'' quite literally, while Touma stands for 'light' and 'protect'

According to the databooks;

* Touma likes to practise Jujutsu (Martial arts, mostly Judo) and Kendo (Japanese swordmanship)
