Personality

Silver Tongue
Eikichi has always been good with his words - after all, it's the first defense of any middle child. Between squabbling with his older sister Rei and vying for attention with his baby brother Takeru, Eikichi has gotten very, very good at picking out the right words for every situation. Whether it's persuading a teacher to let him off easy when he's forgotten his homework or giving a few well-placed compliments to an unsuspecting victim classmate, Eikichi knows how to turn the tide in his favor. Because of this, he's become popular with both girls and boys.

Meddling
Eikichi also has a sneaky side. He notices a lot of little things other people wouldn't, and he uses that power to mess with people. If something catches his interest, it's likely he'll stick his nose into it, and he especially likes meddling in people's love lives. Of course, he knows when to stop... but he can't help making people flustered, although it's usually intended to give him or her a good push. Fundamentally, Eikichi still sees himself as a side character, and he figures that stirring up the feelings of the main cast is his duty and right.

Reserved
Because of certain events in his past and the general middle-child-syndrome he was born with, Eikichi tends to keep his cards close to his chest. He doesn't say a lot about his personal life to those who won't appreciate it, and it takes him a while to truly trust someone. His outer crowd may be fangirls and cool guys, but his true friend circle is made up of kind and honest people that he doesn't have to put up as much of a front with. To some extent, his flirty, popular school persona is nothing more than a façade to hide the boy who was called plain, and is afraid he still is. 

Soft Heart
Under all that quick wit lies a maiden's heart. While Eikichi's tongue may claim the hearts of many a schoolgirl, he's never been in a serious relationship, preferring to stay as the unreachable prince-type while he waits for the perfect girl to walk into his life. Deep down, he's a softie and a true romantic who would definitely get flustered if the girl he liked flirted with him. Because of his soft heart, he often helps people against his better judgement and is attracted to the honest, easy to read type. 

Character Relationships

Osanai Suzuka
"Suzu-chan? Why, we were as thick as thieves back then... I remember her coming over to my house for dinner almost every night. And then one day, she moved away and left me behind! It kinda, well it really, ticked me off. We were really close and then she just disappears! But I've moved on now. If I ever see her again... Suzu-chan's going to have one heck of a surprise!"

Morioka Haruto
"Me and Haru? Well, yeah, I guess he's alright. Somehow, he's the type I just can't leave alone, so we hang out a lot. His heart is really pure, so you get the sense of needing to protect him... Not that, I, uh, worry about him."

Isshiki Mikako
"Whew~ Mikako-san has a lot on her plate, doesn't she? She should stop saying yes to everything and let us help! Not that she doesn't do a good job, of course. She just needs someone to help her relax every once and a while. Come to think of it, she was really close to Suzu-chan. We used to all play together, but it's been a while since I've chatted with Mikako-san. I guess I kinda left her hanging, didn't I?"

Arashiyama Junko
"To be honest, I'm really bad with headstrong people, but... Arashiyama-san really is admirable. Not everybody can be themselves like she does. She probably hates my guts though, haha!"

Sakamoto Ryuuichi
"I've heard a lot about him. He seems like trouble, but I feel like I've seen him feeding the stray cats after school... perhaps there's more than meets the eye with this guy?"

Shinomiya Koharu
"Well, look at miss pep over here! I remember seeing her over at the old shokudo back in the day. She was a quiet thing back then, but looks like I wasn't the only one who had a high school glow up! Anyway, how many part-time jobs does this girl have? And does she ever run out of energy!?"

Chihara Takaya
"Talk about serious! And boring. I can't stand the goody-two-shoes type, but if Takaya ever wants to have a real good time, he knows who to call! But seriously. Surely he isn't content to stay like this his entire life? Doesn't bother him when people act like he's not even there...?"

Other Information

Has an older sister, Rei (19), who is in her first year of college and lives at home, and a little brother, Takeru (12), who manages to be both very annoying and irresistibly adorable. Eikichi is close to his siblings, but like any true family, they fight a lot and tend to be very rowdy. Rei is the only who who can get under his skin without trying, and he would never admit how much he loves having her around. As Takeru has grown older, Eikichi has gotten to share some of his interests with his baby brother, which makes him think that being the older brother might not be so bad.
His dialogue color is #6567be.
He is in the Kyudo (archery) club and was in the student council in his first year (but quit because it just wasn't for him).
He has a mole right below his right eye.
Lives in Minamikawa, and has his whole life. His family has ties to the local shrines, and he sometimes helps out around festival times.
Physical Description

Eikichi was called "plain" a lot back in middle school, so he's made an effort to stand out in high school. Since he started archery as a first-year, he's built some back and shoulder muscle, along with some impressive calluses on his hands. He hit a considerable growth spurt at 15, so he's almost reached 5'11. 

His hair, which is black and shiny, reaches a little past his ears and is styled fashionably to show off a bit of forehead. When he's at home, he keeps his bangs down, as his hair is somewhat thick and therefore difficult to style each morning. He thinks that his bangs make him look kind of nerdy, but he's too afraid to take scissors to it. 

His fashion sense is very modern, and he keeps up with the trends and generally spends a lot of time grooming himself. At school, he spices up his uniform by wearing earrings and belt chains, giving him a bit of a "bad boy" look. Around town, he wears a lot of black skinny jeans, turtlenecks, bomber jackets, and combat boots. He's a fan of the big coat + tight pants look. 

Despite all his efforts, though, Eikichi still has a plain face. His most noticeable feature are his slanted eyes, which give him the impression of a fox. Appearance is everything, and Eikichi knows this most of all - if he didn't put in all this effort, he's convinced nobody would give him a second glance.

Personal Story

Eikichi had an average homelife, but growing up as the middle child does tend to make one feel forgotten. He spent much of his childhood fighting for attention with his oh-so cool older sister and his adorable-yet-annoying baby brother, and he remembers vividly the feeling of being too young to do anything cool but too old to be babied (a feeling that has not left him in high school). 

Thankfully, Eikichi was not alone - the girl-next-door, Suzuka, was his constant playmate and trusted confidante, and from the ages of 6 to 12, the two of them basically grew up together. Eikichi remembers many dinners spent with Suzuka as just another member of his crazy family, although he never quite understood why Suzuka never had dinner with her own family. To him, Suzuka was the one person who always paid attention to him, the person he could always be a hero for. They were inseparable, or so he thought.

Since Suzuka was the awkward type, Eikichi quickly became her voice, protecting her from bullies and speaking up for her in front of crowds. It was then that Eikichi realized the true power of words - they weren't just a way to win arguments with his sister, but they could help Suzuka. They could even make her smile! It was the spark that started the fire - Eikichi was going to get good at speaking. He had to, if Suzuka wasn't.

Unfortunately, words couldn't stop Suzuka from leaving him. The day Suzuka told him she was moving away was the day Eikichi's tiny heart shattered. The move impacted Eikichi greatly - he was very attached to Suzaka, and a very sensitive child - and in the years that followed, he convinced himself that there was something wrong with him. If he had been truly important to her - not just "plain old Eikichi" - then Suzuka wouldn't have moved away. Of course, the move had nothing to do with Suzuka, but Eikichi resolved to be the sort of person people wouldn't leave behind. 

Changing his image took a lot of work. Having a quick wit and a smooth tongue doesn't guarantee you a spot at the cool kid's table. There was something else even more important: looks. Determined to move past the days of being called plain by his elementary school classmates, Eikichi became interested in fashion, and eventually got to a point where he was satisfied with his new appearance. Now in his second year of high school, he has a good reputation and the attention of everyone except the one person he wants.
