Fujin Furukawa

**Furukawa Fujin (古川 風神)** is a second-year at Yotarigawa Boys Academy. He's the lyricist of break DOWN!

## Background

Fujin Furukawa grew up in quite an unloving home.

His mother is an unloving and noncommittal woman while his father is an aggressive, short-tempered man. Fujin also has 2 other siblings (one younger, one older).

The older sibling didn't seem to care much about Fujin and their younger sister, but Fujin cared about the two a ton.

The mother cheated on his father every now and then resulting in a huge argument and a divorce weeks later. The father did love her, but also hated her a lot for what she did and picked up drinking soon after she left resulting in him becoming even more aggressive. He physically and verbally abused them, especially the younger sister due to how much she resembled the mother. Fujin always sprung in between them, taking hits instead to protect her. The older sibling shortly moved out due to the toxic environment and cut ties with them all.

Fujin became a protective figure for his younger sister, Tsukuyomi, he ignored his own needs to take care of her since his father obviously wasn't going to.

Even if the father was a toxic man, Fujin couldn't help but crave love and attention from him. He did all he could to achieve that whether it be getting good grades or trying to impress him with multiple things he has learned. These attempts were all in vain in the end, but Fujin kept going and going no matter what. At least he still had his sister to love him, right?

Wrong. She soon was taken away by their mother due to custody battles and all.

Fujin was somewhat popular in school, having friends and all, but it just wasn't enough for him. He felt selfish for wanting attention from others. He felt like a huge prick. He wasn't going to show that in front of others though, no way. He kept up a cheerful, calming and happy persona for others, it gives him what he wants, even if he absolutely hates doing it.

He slowly started turning to the internet and social media to find what he longs for.

## Personality

Fujin himself is confused with his own personality.

In front of others he keeups up a happy, cheerful and calming persona. A kind person who helps others and wants nothing from it after. This persona made him a popular kid in school. People in his class always go to him for help, notes or advice. His friends always say something positive about him when asked. He has quite a lot of attention on him in school, but all these friends, attention or anything wasn't enough for him. He keeps yearning and wanting more.

Fujin hates this side of him, the side that wants constant attention and love from others. He doesn't feel like a proper friend to anyone. In his head, he's just using everyone. They feel like a huge prick for this, for lying and pretending. If Fujin was caught in his own lies and fake persona, he'd have quite a personality switch. You could call it his 'real' self. He'll be defensive, cold and somewhat mean. If he does act mean towards someone they'll immediately regret and feel guilty about it. He often gets anger outbursts.
