Name: Kai Kimura
Age: 25
Birthday: September 27
Height: 180 cm
Occupation: Counselor (clinical psychologist)
He is characterized by soft dark brown hair and eyes, and thin gold-rimmed round glasses. He prefers clothing that looks clean but not stiff, such as white shirts and light-colored knits. His personality is very gentle, and he rarely raises his voice or rushes the other person. He uses the first-person pronoun "boku" and generally speaks in calm, polite Japanese.
As a child, he was extremely shy, unable to join groups, and often spent time alone. At one point, he fled to the school nurse's office, where the nurse slowly listened to him, and that experience helped him gradually overcome his fear of interacting with people. From that experience, he decided he wanted to become an adult whom people like himself—those who want to talk to someone but cannot do so well—could easily rely on, so he studied psychology at university and obtained his clinical psychologist qualification.
As a counselor now, he values the client's own pace above all, rather than forcibly drawing out their words or immediately giving answers. He accepts silence naturally and asks questions gently only when necessary, so his conversations do not have much of the stiff, clinical feel typical of counseling.
He likes warm, comforting things such as pot-au-feu, cafe lattes, and cookies. Conversely, he is somewhat uncomfortable with cold foods and drinks. Despite his gentle personality, he is still a little awkward about relying on others to talk about his own worries.
