## Biography

### Prologue

Nagomi's father Kenzo had two children from a previous marriage from his ex-wife Mitsuki, who sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer a year after giving birth to their son Souma in 2006, making him a single father. Being a single father wasn't easy for him, but he got used to it and cared for them even though he was working as a full-time salaryman at his former company at the time, and when Akira was 5 years old in 2008, her father met Naoyuki's aunt Mayumi, who was around the same age as her friend's mother, and would later become her younger brother's mother. After 3 years of dating, they got engaged in 2011 and eventually married.

Not long after, Mayumi was pregnant with twins, with her husband and his children getting excited about the good news, and the pregnancy went normal as expected until things take a worse turn a month after Nagomi and his twin sister Hinata were prematurely born in June, approximately 3 months before their due dates of September 2013 that they were put to a NICU in Tokyo for 5 months, worrying their older siblings Akira and Souma, who really wanted to see and play with them. 2 weeks later, Nagomi and Hinata were finally out of the NICU after receiving enough oxygen needed for them to survive, and their parents were finally able to go back home to Kobe after 2 weeks.

Once arrived at home, Souma enjoyed playing with his own younger twin siblings, but unlike her twin brother, who survived, Hinata died due to sudden infant death syndrome caused by her heart problems 3 months later, and a funeral was held immediately after, with her older brother Souma himself making the funeral arrangements, and she was shortly cremated after her death, with her remains and ashes being absorbed by a Hello Kitty plush whom her older half-sister Akira used to play with as a child. Following her death, Nagomi started to cry and wanted to be with her, but his half-sister calmed him down and still, he didn't forget about his sister and wanted to see her, with her giving her own Hello Kitty plush to him, calming him down.

Growing up without his sister, Nagomi really enjoyed playing with his own plush and he eventually started to have an interest in football like other males his age. One time in April 2019, while in elementary school, one of his friends introduced him to football and at first, he was reluctant, but finally gave in by doing so, and made friends with other boys who also liked to play football until they were challenged to play against a group of high school delinquents who were way taller and older than them, and they had won against them.

2 years later, during the summer vacations of 2021, while he was on his way back to his aunt's house after helping out with her farm in Kure, a college jerk stopped him on the way after buying a lunchbox from a 7-Eleven store and threatened to kill him, only for the latter to press his own safety buzzer on his school bag, saving himself from him and running away at the same time to inform his cousin Tsubasa, who was just passing by, about what happened and upon realizing that the jerk was the one who sexually assaulted Ushio on her part-time job as a convenience store clerk a few years back, he reported the incident to his own sports teacher Haruhito Yamauchi, and surprisingly enough, since he also worked as a police officer, he arrested his own student on spot and Nagomi thanked him for saving him as well.

Upon arriving at his aunt's house, Kenta was waiting for him in the doorstep, and Nagomi was shocked to see him at first, thinking that he was just a jock when actually he shares the same interests as him and they both like to draw and play games together but they share a common hatred of football, delinquents and jocks as well. Once they walked into her house, they were greeted by the latter's aunt and siblings Akira and Souma, who then prepares dinner for them, and to their surprise, Umiko, Mingyu and Chizuru along with the latter's father were also here to enjoy the dinner as well.

After eating dinner, Nagomi took a bath and just as he was done writing on his vacation diary and went to bed, Mingyu walked in to check on him and he saw a drawing of himself and him with a bug net to catch cicadas, before taking a photo of the drawing on his phone and left. The next morning, he went to Hiroshima with his father and siblings, to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in memory of the victims of the atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and always remembered about it to this day. By the end of his summer vacations, he and his family went back to Kobe, where he saw Mingyu on his way to school, who asked him to join the Chinatown Heroes, in which he refused and ran off to school anyway.

When Nagomi was done with his classes on a Friday, he came back home to do his homework and eventually started to get bored and asked Mingyu and Chizuru to help him with his homework, in which they helped him out and therefore, thanks to their help, he was done with all of the homework, with the latter two teleporting him to Sakurahama Island, where he met the two of them along with Mochi, Iliana, Hwayeon, Kiran, Lolli and Yonako for the first time, and at the same time, he was teleported along with Miro, who came from the same world as Frostine, and they were all welcomed to the group; the person who took the two in was none other than Lolli herself, who desperately wants to find her own twin sister Pop, and now a part of Chinatown Heroes, Nagomi sets out on a quest to help her find her twin sister before focusing on his goal to find who really was his own twin sister.
