Character Notes:
History:
*Kou was left at an orphanage when he was too young to remember. It is unknown if his birth parents are deceased or not.
*Kou was adopted into the Ichijo family. The grandmother is the head of the household and what she says goes. They are very traditional and distinguished. They have a fair amount of money considering Kou has his own place next to his parents' and they pay an allowance for him to live on.
*Kou was adopted because his parents couldn't conceive a child, so they adopted him. When he was fourteen they gave birth to a baby girl.
*Kou's home life involves tea ceremonies, as well as other studies that his grandmother believes will make him an upstanding citizen. He also has to attend society functions.
*Kou's attitude to this is that it's an exchange for them providing for him.
*Despite the ambivalence surrounding Sachiko, Kou loves her, because she's just like an adorable baby sister he wanted.
*Kou suspects Sachiko will be the successor and he feels that's right because he's adopted and she's really their child. His suspicions deepen when he's told that he can do whatever he wants. His grandmother had been against him playing basketball, but now it's fine for him to do it.
*Kou finds this news surprisingly disheartening and gets depressed.
*Kou goes to the Institute to learn about his real parents and returns with a letter, however it appears as though the letter (which says they died) was written by the lady who runs the Institute.
*He is disheartened to learn they had died, supposedly.
*Because of this he confronts his family and learns his fears are relatively ungrounded and he vows to learn everything he can to be the best big brother he can.
Personality:
Kou is a friendly guy. He's relatively laid back and relaxed. He's the captain of the basketball team and he tries to be encouraging but he doesn't actually take a stand to force his team to practice. Kou is someone who wears many masks. Despite his friendly, outgoing personality at school, alone he can be quite sullen, quiet and melancholic as he is with Daisuke and Souji when he gets down. He's passionate about basketball, and when he loses that feeling it is only when he thought it might not be worth playing. He has a shyness when it comes to girls. Despite liking Chie, he never says anything to her about it. At home he plays the part of the noble gentleman. He studies hard at his lessons in etiquette and mannerisms, and is quite adept at social gatherings of the upper class. Whether or not Kou likes these things (he doesn't), he is very good at hiding his true feelings. Sometimes it's hard to know if Kou is being genuine but he usually is.
Other:
Kou likes to eat a lot. He especially enjoys eating at Aiya's. He has a bit of a crush on Chie as well, but he doesn't think she likes him. He has a low tolerance for vulgarity from his school peers, as he's still prim and proper outside of school. He also has a high amount of respect for women and degrading them with vulgarity is a no-no.

First Person (entry type):
I went to the family house today for dinner, which is always a tiring affair and of course Grandmother was laying into me, how I should quit basketball and focus on my studies so I can be a decent match to expand her empire. But never mind that. Sachiko did the most adorable thing at dinner!
She's learning how to use a spoon and halfway through the meal, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, her dinner hits my Grandmother in the face! Now I'm usually pretty good at these things but I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing despite myself and Sachiko gave me the biggest brightest smile ever. She's the best little sister, really. My mom had to scold her and my dad smacked me in the back of the head, and of course Grandmother's pissed at me, but man it was the greatest fun I've had there in awhile. Dinner is always so sombre and boring and the food's too small and geeze. I always feel like running out to Aiya's afterwards, but of course Kou-sama's not really supposed to run. Sometimes I don't know what to think. I love hanging out with Daisuke - and Souji when he was here. I wish playing basketball was more simple, I love doing it, that should be enough right?
Anyway, I've got a getup to get out of and homework to finish. If it's not too late after I change, I might go for a run.
Third Person:
Kou had his eyes closed, and his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. He opened them and stared at his teammates. "Come on, all we've done is take a few free-throw shots!"
The grumbling was giving him a migraine. "Oh fine, just go home!" Kou turned his back on those lazy good for nothings and he grabbed a basketball, bouncing it idly before doing drills by himself. His teammates were always like this, and it bothered him but if he took in a deep breath and concentrated, he could shake them off. He had bigger goals, and he was serious about basketball.
"Kou's coming down the centre! He fakes to the left, he fakes to the right, three steps and he dunks the ball! The crowd goes wild! Kou's the winner!" Kou cheered and held up his arms in victory.
Daisuke was laughing in the doorway and Kou turned to him, giving him a glare with a hint of amusement. "Oh shut up!" Kou threw a ball at Daisuke.
Daisuke caught it in his hands and bounced it a few times. "Well if Kou-chan's so great, then I'd better surrender now!"
"That's right, you'd better." Kou said with a laugh and smiled, tilting his head. "Drop the Kou-chan crap. I hate it when the girls do it. Here-" He held out his hands and caught the ball. He grabbed a cloth, polished it and set it back on the rack. "Let's grab a snack at Aiya's! I'm starved."
Daisuke pat Kou on the shoulder as they headed out of the gym together.
