## Profile

A young man with a mysterious atmosphere. He had to experience a lonely childhood because his father was in prison. When he was living on the street, cats started piling up around him, so he became fond of cats. After a certain turmoil, he was picked up by Iori and joined AKYR. Hokusai is often misunderstood, but he has a very gentle and kind-hearted personality.

## Personality

Hokusai is a quiet yet compassionate individual. He cares for the people around him, often praising them or expressing concern for them when they are troubled.
