APPEARANCE.[/size][/color]

<sub>Rokuro tends to dress like your average teenager, wearing baggy and faded jeans usually with some sort of decorated t-shirt. He prefers shirts with band logos on them, or things from video games as he has an affinity for them and music. He also likes accessories such as studded belts and wristbands, spiked wristbands and collars... As well as a lot of other things that are considered 'punk'. His father won't exactly stand for this though, so he really doesn't get to wear these kind of things very often.

Just like the average teenager though he does have a bit of rebellious streak, so he likes to hide those kind of things in his backpack and put them on at school or while he's out walking on the street. Rokuro's only concern is coming off as someone who was trying to act like a tough guy, even though with his kind of squishy and nonmuscular build that seems laughable. He is a little taller than others his age though, standing at about 5' 9" without his shoes. This still doesn't help the fact he looks pretty unthreatening, and like he tends to spend most of his time on a couch or infront of a computer like most teenagers do.

Another thing applying to his rebellious streak and his like of all things punk, he likes to mess with his hair sometimes. This can be anything from trying to make it into a mohawk, dying it, or even trying to make it look checkered somehow. With how disapproving his father is though, he had to start wearing a hat to hide his hair when he started doing this, not wanting him to see and scold him for it... Also another reason for the hat is sometimes these things don't come out as well as he planned. More often than not, that is exactly what happens and he's stuck with a hat practically glued to his head for however long it takes for his hair to go back to normal.

If Rokuro hasn't done anything to his hair for a while, it's usually a blonde-yellow color and is about ear length. He doesn't like his hair getting longer than that or when it gets shaggy, and this is probably the only aspect of his appearance people seem to think he cares about. However he knows that he just really needs to take really good care of his hair with how much he experiments with it, so he is rather hygienic and keeps it clean and healthy. He's also a little paranoid of anything getting in his hair though, so that hat is pretty much glued to his head regardless of whether or not he's done anything with it.</sub>

PERSONALITY.[/size][/color]

<sub>Rokuro is a very cheerful and ambitious kid, telling pretty much anyone who will listen to him yammer on about it that he wants to become a rock star when he grows up and can get out on his own. Not for the fame, or the money, or the babes but... For the fun of it. All he sees when he watches a band play, whether it be at home on tv or the internet or up close and personal at a concert, he just thinks it looks so fun to him. To be able to write songs about how you felt or songs that just made no sense and to be able to sing them in front of other people who found your songs good appealed to him, and from a very young age this has really been his goal in life.

People have scolded him for it of course, telling him that it was just a stupid kid dream and that he should wise up to the way the world really works... As if they think Rokuro expects everything to just happen for him. This annoys him to no end though, as the boy is completely aware of all the work it takes to learn to play an instrument and write songs and music. He works almost tirelessly to get better at playing the guitar, the only instrument he currently owns and will most likely own for the rest of his life unless it breaks. The guitar means more to him than any person would probably know, even though it looks pretty cheap and beat up.

Rokuro is very friendly guy, never afraid to go right up and talk to someone and he never shies away from people or the conversation they offer. He always seems genuinely interested in whatever someone's talking about to him, even if it actually doesn't... He would feel bad though if all he did was sit there and go 'uh huh... yeah.... right... yup...' during a conversation so he tries to stay engaged in it. It also allows him to 'see into another person's world' kinda when he talks to someone, and he likes to see things from perspectives other than his. He values the opinions of others as highly as he regards his own, and never argues unless their point of view conflicts with his morals somehow.

One of the things that tends to irritate Rokuro is people taking advantage of or using others, or just being pointlessly mean. He has gotten himself into many fistfights due to the fact that he can't seem to mind his own business ever, always stepping in to help someone if they can't help themselves no matter the threat posed to him. Sure he has gotten hurt pretty badly in the past, but he saw it as a better alternative to the other person getting the life beat out of them. He doesn't entirely seem to realize that he could very well get the life beaten out of him one day... Literally.

The boy doesn't just stand there and take the beatings though, and in fact when threatened he can become rather violent. Rokuro knows when to stop though, and will back off once the other person gives in. He is also rather regretful or hurting people, and always apologizes after a fight even if he's the one who got hurt the worst. He never intervenes in these fights to hurt people, it's never his intention; it just happens to be a rather unfortunate side effect.

An odd thing about Rokuro is that he seems to be oddly skittish around girls, despite however friendly they might be. He will try to stay away from them in crowds or suddenly jerk away from them if he finds himself near one. This seems to go beyond the normal feeling of awkwardness a teenage boy might exhibit around a girl, and it is unknown why he seems so startled by them. He does his best not to be rude to them regardless of how he might feel though, and if talked to he will try to act as normal as possible... The keyword there being 'try'.</sub>

father; Takahashi Akio
mother; Saito Yuuna

<sub>Rokuro's childhood was far from normal, and he went through many trials rather early in life. However when he was born everything was fairly normal; His parents were married, appeared to love each other, and loved their child. However as the boy grew up the perfect picture was ripped apart, as his mother started to exhibit dangerous and abusive behavior. It just started with yelling and maybe hitting an object, and this was the stage she was in when he was still a toddler... It would get much worse.

Rokuro's mother became more violent over the years, as well as learning to be deceptive, cunning, and quite the actress. As she became physically violent towards her son, she swore him to secrecy and forbade him to say anything at all to his father. The boy, scared and defenseless against the woman who was supposed to be nurturing him, kept his mouth shut about it. He never breathed a syllable of what occurred in the house when he and his mother were alone at him, but one day when he was about 6 his father found out all on his own.

One day Rokuro's father came home early from work to a sight he had never expected to see... His son cowering in front of his mother, who seemed about to strike him. The boy's father was greatly angered by this and filed for divorce immediately, though despite what he had seen he still had to enter into a bitter custody battle. Thanks to Rokuro's testimony (that he had been absolutely scared to death to give), the court awarded custody to his father and his mother was imprisoned for what was supposed to be about a 5 year sentence.

Instead however she was let out after a mere year and half... And she didn't seem very happy about the fact she had lost her only son. This was about when Rokuro's father realized there was someone following him around a little, and even his son had said before he'd seen someone watching him getting off the bus after school. The boy had no idea at all who the person was, until he was taken by said person. He was horrified to find his mother was trying to abduct him and take him from his father, but as he was only 7 and a half at the time, he had no chance against an adult woman with ambition.

Once his father realized something was terribly wrong after Rokuro wasn't home at the usual time he reported him as missing, and days of anxious waiting followed the call. Finally, after about 4 and half days since being kidnapped, Rokuro's mother slipped up and was apprehended by authorities, and the boy was returned to his father. He was overjoyed to be back but the experience had changed him, and he was now very fearful of girls and females in general from that point on. His father decided counseling was in order, but Rokuro absolutely refused to go and just could not be forced to go really; anytime he was he'd clam up and not say a word.

They move to another town after the ordeal was over, but Rokuro was too unstable for public school. By this time he was finally back with other kids he was 11, and he lacked the security to make friends at first since he was afraid of a majority of them now. He was stand offish and hard to really talk to for a while, but eventually he started to come out of his shell a little. By then though other kids just didn't seem to want to talk to him though, and he didn't exactly know what to do about it.

Rokuro had no one to talk to about this really, because his father got a new job that made it nearly impossible to really spend any time together. Their relationship became strained and he turned to music to ease his mind. The boy managed to obtain an old, beat up, but still fully functioning electric guitar from a pawn shop he came across one day. He had no idea how to play the instrument when he got it, but he made up his mind that he would learn.

He spent all his spare time learning and perfecting his skill with the guitar, doing all he could afford to learn how to play this wonderful instrument. Over the years Rokuro developed the dream of becoming a professional musician, a rock star more specifically. In order to get an outside perspective on his music he took to playing songs on street corners or in parks, using this to collect money if anyone was kind enough to send some his way. This hobby of playing out in public actually had a good effect on his social life as he met a fellow music lover this way, a boy from his school who liked to play the drums.

Over music and their general common interests he gained a friend and a possible band member for in the future when he finally reached his goal. They started to play together and practice with each other, staying good friends over the years. Even at the age of 16 he still has this dream and fully intends to follow through with it, despite the fact he's still not entirely perfect with playing the guitar. The way he sees it, he still has plenty of time.</sub>
