## Personality

Kyoichiro is obsessed with his little sister Mutsumi, practically being a stalker, and would do anything in order to protect her. As a result, he's extremely overprotective of her, and will do anything to keep others away. His methods include threats and blackmail to even torture and murder; especially if those people are boys. He is also very affectionate towards her, often trying to spend time with her and being overly caring and doting.

Due to his behavior, Kyochiro is considered extremely creepy and annoying by many people (even by his own family) and was even nominated in Weekly Spy as '*The Spy I Would Want to Kill Most!*'.

Kyoichiro also has an intense dislike towards Mutsumi's husband, Taiyo Asano, and wishes to get rid of him by all means necessary, even ordering a "*Easy to Understand Encyclopedia of Torture*" to do so. However, despite his quirks and oddities, Kyoichiro is still a reliable person and will protect all of his loved ones, irrespective of whether he may die in the progress, as he once promised Taiyo that he will save him even if it kills him. His tolerance, acknowledgement and acceptance of him eventually came full circle, as he protects him as 'Mutsumi's husband'.

He is extremely susceptible to kids due to his older brother instincts. Once, he completely malfunctioned after witnessing baby Taiyo, causing him to just stand on one spot as if he was dead. Another time, he collapsed on the floor after failing to decide a gift for Ai.

Even as a child, Kyoichiro is extremely perceptive and caring. He would use every opportunity to genuinely praise his siblings. When he was turned into a child, he referred to Taiyo as Big Brother, and was proud that 'little Mutsumi' had already gotten a husband. He voiced his own insecurities that his protective nature would cause everyone to hate him after seeing how they acted around him, but Taiyo assured him that he is the reliable big brother everybody looks up to.

## History

During his childhood, Kyoichiro at some point attended Teiou Academy and had befriended the academy's guard shark Leviathan after numerous battles with it.

Kyoichiro took his first spy exam at the age of 6. The other participants mocked him for being so young, but he ended up making them all drop out by force. This lead him to become the only person to pass the exam that year, with that year having the lowest number of passed participants at the time. Kyoichiro ended up receiving a bronze license from that.

As he grew up, he trained daily with his father and took part in many missions.

Since Kyoichiro was a child, he had always been very fond all his siblings, especially his little sister Mutsumi as she was the heir to the family. This also meant he was quite protective of her too, not wanting other boys to get close to her, causing Futaba to always reprimand him for being too controlling.

4 years ago, Mutsumi and Rei Yozakura were kidnapped by Tanpopo. The Yozakura siblings managed to locate where they where and attack the hideout, Kyoichiro managed to locate Mutsumi and Rei's bodies and found out that Momo Yozakura was the one who kidnapped them. After finding out Momo was the cause of it, Kyoichiro began to rage, which resulted in the awakening of his blooming but before he could use it, Momo had left.

As Kyoichiro walked away with Mutsumi, he vowed to ensure no harm ever comes to her again. After Mutsumi's kidnapping and his father's seeming betrayal, Kyoichiro became a lot more twisted in his protection of Mutsumi. His methods became a lot more drastic and violent to the extent that he became over-controlling of her and dictated her every action.
