Clear skin and a matured jawline that often makes people misestimate his age. Training has tempered some musculature into his frame, though his previous thinness makes it look more impressive than it actually is. From his flat stare to his expensive clothes, there’s a lot of stuff about this guy that makes it seem as though he’s looking down on you, as though he shouldn’t be anywhere near this middling Texan public school. Only the latter part is correct. [/color][/SUP][/indent]

[/cell][cell][h3][sup][color=7ea7d8]biography[/color][/sup][/h3][indent][color=dcdcdc]If you’re going to devote your life to some obscure, expensive pastime, Yuto would recommend being born into a family responsible for 5% of Japan’s GDP. The Shitanagas are a clan that go way back, sitting on top of a shipping conglomerate that traces its roots back to the Meiji Era. Yuto was given free reign over his hobbies and expenditures on two conditions: that he attended his classes, and that he presented himself as a suitable heir to the conglomerate. He stuck to those guidelines… loosely. Always testing how much he could get away with. It’s not like his parents were ever around long enough to notice, especially once they had to pick up his older brother’s slack. So he tried a whole bevy of hobbies. And he discovered karting.

The feeling of having your own life in your hands, the wind whipping through his clothes. He didn’t just love it, he was freaking good at it. Better than anything else he’d tried. His parents approved for the most part. The sport gave him a bunch of chances for sponsorship deals and subsequent connections for the family business. He was a prodigy tearing up the European circuits and it was great until he declared his intentions to remain in Britain for his career. The one that wasn’t set out by his parents. A week-long argument erupted, promises of disownment and emancipation getting thrown about, resulting in Yuto driving his father’s precious Aston Martin into the neighbor’s pool. Suffice to say, he was out.

Yuto’s future was up in the air and it was only on the word of some no-name colleague that his father decided his fate. He would be shipped off to the States to live with his maverick uncle, Hirose, the CEO of Texas’ largest sushi restaurant chain. It was a punishment of the highest order but Yuto was given one small act of mercy. A deal. Redeem himself with exemplary university records and he would be let back into the family.

That was around four years ago. He got stuck in an American public school, he hated it, then he woke up in a sterile room to a Russian woman and an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Even though his mission performances lie in the middle of the bell curve, and he spends most of his time with Promenade waiting for the other agents to get out whatever building they’ve saved from an explosion, graduation is in his sights. He’s driving out and he’s not looking back for anyone.

Yuto has years of karting under his belt, with many more trophies to show. He was intending to promote into F1 before the big move sent him to the backwaters. Luckily, Promenade has fulfilled his dream of racing full-sized cars, even if it’s in an unconventional manner. Being one of the support members rather than the frontline gives him all the extra practice time he needs. As a result of this and the Neural Sync, his reflexes and co-ordination go beyond any professional level he would have achieved out on the racetrack. He hopes that they’ll give him aerial lessons soon.[/color]

[color=7ea7d8][b]Languages and Accents –[/b][/color] [color=dcdcdc]Fluently speaks Japanese, English. Proficient in Mandarin and French. Basic knowledge of German. Talks to himself when he believes no one is listening, practicing the accents and mannerisms he observes in films and school.[/color]

[color=7ea7d8][b]Internationally Cultured –[/b][/color] [color=dcdcdc]Rich boy has been places.[/color]

[color=7ea7d8][b]Fashion –[/b][/color] [color=dcdcdc]From streetwear to more sophisticated attire, Yuto observes the trends of his age group and can blend in with most crowds depending on his preparation time.[/color]

[color=7ea7d8][b]Piano/Organ –[/b][/color] [color=dcdcdc]The plan was to use his eight years of classical training to teach his cousin to play the organ for Sunday service when old lady Gwendolyn had to retire. NOT to wake up at seven every weekend to do it in his cousin’s stead.[/color]

[color=7ea7d8][b]Basic Mechanics –[/b][/color] [color=dcdcdc]Learnt alongside the tech-savvier agents. Knows enough to maintain the non-computerised parts of his vehicles but that’s pretty much it.[/color]

[color=7ea7d8][b][i]“Business Mode”[/i] –[/b][/color] [color=dcdcdc]Something he picked up from his entrepreneur uncle, a trick along the lines of ‘talk less, smile more’. A deeper voice, a cool smile here and there. If Yuto lets his supposedly handsome face do all the talking, for a brief moment of time he can give off an air of mystery and sophistication, making strangers give him more leeway than they usually would. It has helped him out of a few situations before, though the cracks start to appear if he talks too much.

[indent][sup][color=7ea7d8]►[/color] [color=dcdcdc]Ford Focus – Promenade vehicles come in all sorts of models but Yuto deemed this one best for daily use. Used for recon, getaway driving, and dropping his cousins off at basketball practice. Seats seven. A hidden fingerprint scanner on the steering wheel prevents anyone outside of Promenade from accessing the vehicle’s hidden upgrades. Special features include but are not limited to:[/color][/sup][/indent][indent][indent][sup][color=7ea7d8]►[/color] [color=dcdcdc]Armored Plating – Completely bulletproof, even on the tires.

Holographic screens and keyboards surround him, and they can only be seen through the glasses. Other agents may also have their own pair.[/color][/sup][/indent][/indent][indent][indent][sup][color=7ea7d8]►[/color] [color=dcdcdc]Revolving Plates – License plate that switches from his uncle’s registration for daily use to a randomly generated plate for missions.[/color][/sup][/indent][/indent][indent][indent][sup][color=7ea7d8]►[/color] [color=dcdcdc]Remote Control – With a few quick presses on his smartphone, Yuto can see and operate from the driver’s seat’s perspective or even place the car on autopilot to navigate to his location.[/color][/sup][/indent][/indent][indent][indent][sup][color=7ea7d8]►[/color] [color=dcdcdc]Ejector Seat – Yuto has no intention of ever using this.[/color][/sup][/indent][/indent][indent][indent][sup][color=7ea7d8]►[/color] [color=dcdcdc]Unscrubbable Smell of Old Soup – Don’t ask.[/color][/sup][/indent][/indent][indent][sup][color=7ea7d8]►[/color] [color=dcdcdc]Focus Glasses – Allows access to the HCC.

He’s good in class. He’s athletic. He’s hardworking when he wants to be. He’s polite. But he sure as hell isn’t friendly. Talking with the guy always gives the vibe that there’s somewhere else he’d rather be, though even the concept of him viewing anything favorably can be absurd to people that don’t know him. He’s always trying to find the best way to wriggle out of conversations, with situations often blowing up when this is met with resistance, but he swears it’s not malicious. Dude just finds people to be a lot of effort. They’re strange and unlike him and expect too much from a guy they’ve hardly spoken to. And it’s just going to be awkward for both of them eventually so why not just pull it out from the root?

He’s just a guy that wants a stress-free life. And people are the most stressful thing of all.

[indent][h3][color=7ea7d8]Strength: B[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]Has good stamina but otherwise is the same as his peers.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Intelligence: A[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]He’s a master of cramming rather than studying. Picks up on concepts quickly, plus it’s not like he has much else to do with his time. Often does his schoolwork ahead of schedule to free up more driving hours. Doesn’t see the point of it all but he knows it’s necessary.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Close-Quarters Combat: C[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]Can take down the average underpaid security goon but will struggle against anyone more experienced. Isn’t that what the stun baton is for?[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Firearms: D-[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]Never had an interest in firearms in Japan, continues to have no interest now. He knows how to switch the safety off at least? Asking him to shoot at anything further than ten yards is too much though.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Concealment and Disguise: B-[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]Has since learnt that the trick is to talk sparingly and let his appearance and actions carry the rest.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Strategic Thinking/Leadership: C[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]Sounds like someone else’s problem.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Mental Agility/Intuition: B+[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]Bit of a mixed bag. During an operation, he leaves the thinking to someone else. In the driver’s seat though, he’s a beast. There is no rival for his reflexes there.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Hacking/Computer Operation: B+[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]Required the knowledge to operate and maintain the Focus but he would rather leave the heavy-duty hacking stuff to the others.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Observation/Interrogation: C-[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]He can read body language and tone decently well. Knowing what to do with that information is a whole different ball game though.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Linguistics: A[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]Knows his stuff and makes sure to look into the accent and colloquialisms too.[/color][/indent]
[h3][color=7ea7d8]Teamwork/Cooperation: C[/color][/h3]
[indent][color=dcdcdc]As a support member, he doesn’t feel the need to know all the ins and outs of his team members. He probably wouldn’t be so good at it anyway. Besides, when he’s on the road, he’s his own boss. No one knows the roads like he does.[/color][/indent][/indent]
