Biography: In Japan, the saying goes that “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.” Taro is the nail that stuck out, but he has never let himself be hammered down. From an early age, Taro enjoyed the feeling of being unique; he liked to have unique things and do that which others did not. It helped that he came from a upper-middle class family that liked to indulge his habits, and so when Taro wanted something unique, he got something unique. As a child, he liked to indulge in alternative fashions, dressing in western fashions when no one else did, and if the trend changed, he would change to be contrarian towards it. His contrarianism had its logical limits, but he never liked to be one of the crowd. He always wanted to stand out.

One day, Taro decided he wanted to apply to the Power Curriculum Program in Academy City, hoping to become a full fledged Esper. Sure, it wasn’t wholeheartedly unique, but many Espers had very unique powers and some acquired no shortage of fame for their prowess. 

Upon being tested, Taro heard these very words; “Ah, Telekinesis. A very typical power.”

He was aghast. He could not have it be that he would have such a generic power, no matter how strong said powers might be. He demanded more tests be performed, but eventually learned there was no fighting the fact that he had one of the most typical powers among Espers. He almost wanted to depart Academy city and close his ears to talk of Espers and their powers forever. However, he eventually resolved himself to find a way to make himself unique and interesting even with the most common power imaginable, and he was damned if he would let himself just be any other telekinetic Esper.

Personality: Taro loves to be the centre of attention, and he likes to achieve that by going against the grain. He likes to find things that no one is indulging in and take them up himself in hopes that it will make him stand out. This makes him highly open to new ideas and experiences, but he also tends to become quickly bored with something that doesn’t put him in the spotlight. That said, Taro is usually loathe to try anything that he doesn’t at least see as being good or interesting. While he enjoys attention, it’s exclusively positive attention that he enjoys, and he does not desire to be mocked or draw ire for what he does. He’s by no means suicidal either, and he won’t do anything stupid in a serious situation just to get people’s attention.

While some might assume him to be a mean spirited snob from his behaviour, he is ultimately anything but that. He does not like to bring others down just to make himself look better. His quest for uniqueness is entirely personal, and nobody deserves to be mocked and belittled just to make him feel even better about himself. He loves to learn from others, usually so he can find out what’s popular so he can avoid it, but also so that he can encourage others to find their own unique niche to fit into. After all, if he can enjoy having his own thing, so should everyone else.

Esper Power: Telekinesis: Level 4
Taro is capable of manipulating objects using an invisible psychic energy. For instance, he can throw a tank up to 30 meters, and control multiple objects at the same time. The larger the object, the less of them he can control at once and vice versa.
Skills: Amateur painter, poet, and basketball player. He also knows a lot of random facts and trivia, picked up from investigating new avenues of uniqueness.
