## Character Description

Doesn’t care much about anything other than eating and sleeping. Usually eating something and carries around sweets but his favourite food is ice cream(because there’s no expiry date).

Onstage, he becomes completely different and has a fierce personality. After shows, he falls asleep since it tires him out.

## Background

When Kiichi was younger, he appeared to be more outgoing than he is now. His parents would praise him for being a big eater and in turn, Kiichi enjoyed eating. While he was out one day, an accident happened at home which caused a fire to break out, killing both of his parents. Kiichi would be transferred into the care of his grandmother at the orphanage she ran, Sazanka-en, from then on where he would later meet Hajime.

At Sazanka-en, he lived in a seperate building away from the main orphanage with his grandmother but would sneak away at night to snack on the leftovers usually prepared by Hajime that day. After being caught by Hajime one night, they eventually became close friends and sneaking into the kitchen was a common occurrance. They became so close that Hajime requested to share a room with Kiichi as he found out that Kiichi would experience frequent nightmares, something he could relate to.
