> Jin Toku - Danganronpa: Until Proven Guilty

## Personality

Jin is a very laid back, careless man, who seems to lack any awareness of his surroundings. He's notorious for being overly sleezy, and doesn't seem to comprehend boundaries very well. Often, he makes extremely uncomfortable comments towards women, thinking that he's successfully initiating a sexual relationship. In reality, however, he only makes them feel very uncomfortable, and he is often confused as to why this is. As a result of his own actions, he feels unfulfilled and unloveable, which has allowed him to fall into a state of depression. He has a tendency to be withdrawn, and many view him as lazy, as he is very untidy and doesn't take care of his appearance. His depressive state is also due to him being unsuccessful in his music career, leading him to believe is life is truly over at his young age.

Jin also appears to have a problem with alcohol, as he is frequently drunk or dealing with the aftermath of a hangover. While Jin is drunk, he finds it impossible to control himself and thus can become violent and erratic.

Despite all of this, Jin has a very kind heart. He wants nothing more than to feel appreciated for his work, and to have a stable group of friends surrounding him.

## Appearance

Jin has a very untidy appearance, as he struggles to be motivated to take care of himself. He has pale, oily skin with dark undereye bags. His jaw is sharp and covered in black stubble. He has messy black hair that he doesn't brush particularly well, with side swept bangs that fall into his brown eyes. He has a tall figure, and his weight tends to greatly fluctuate depending on his wellbeing.

Jin's outfit consists of a dark green turtle neck with a black, sleeveless denim jacket overtop. He wears plain, black jeans held up by a simple brown leather belt with a golden buckle. His shoes are green rubber-toe sneakers, and he wears a brown leather watch on his right wrist.

## History

Jin was born into an incredibly wealthy family of intellects. His father is a successful lawyer for one of the largest law firms in the country, and his mother is also employed at the same firm. His older brother is a practising surgeon who has multiple degrees, and his younger brother is attending an elite business school in Tokyo. To Jin's dismay, his family held him to the same standard as them, expecting him to become a doctor, lawyer, or business professional. However, due to his lack of intelligence and motivation, Jin struggled with these subjects. He discovered a profound love for music at a young age, and knew firmly he wanted to become a musician. Upon revealing this to his family, he was met with anger and denial, as his family refused to let him practise music or have any career involving such, as it wasn't 'professional' enough, and they believed this wouldn't be as profitable as becoming a lawyer or doctor.

All of the Toku sons have been placed in arranged marriages for women to marry into wealthy families. As a result, Jin met who he considers to be his first love, and he greatly looked forward to becoming her husband in the future. However, while she did see him as a friend, this love was not reciprocated.

Despite his family's protests, Jin continued to pursue his passion for music by practising instruments in his friend's garage. This continued up until Jin reached age 17, when his parents discovered his secret activities and grounded him for life. With this, Jin decided to leave the Toku family, taking only a handful of cash stolen from the family safe (as well as gifts from his once future wife), a duffel bag full of his clothes, and an acoustic guitar on his back. He left Tokyo for Minakami, and spent weeks sleeping rough, before eventually finding shelter in a rundown apartment.
