Kimura Kouichi | Digimon Frontier [5/?]

[to-kouji.livejournal.com]

Personality:
“I admit it. It’s true that in my heart my opposing hatred for you grew into jealous envy. But that was what I said long ago! Meeting Kouji and speaking to him has changed me! That’s why, I won’t let this darkness in my heart defeat me!”

On first sight, Kouichi appears shy and reserved. As he gets to know people he’s a caring and supporting boy. He’s easy to make worry and just as easy to make angry. He has a surprising amount of will and determination, that is only counteracted by the consistent self doubt. Loyal and self-sacrificing, there’s no denying why he was made a Chosen Child-- all of whom are considered to be pure of heart.

One of the first “true” moments we see Kouichi in the series, his true self, he’s watching his mother. He’s worrying openly for her, although she cannot see it because her back is turned away from him. The look in his eyes striking until he narrows them, a certain determination glinting behind it before the scene fades out. This really and truly shows a lot of Kouichi’s character right then. He’s worrying about her where she can’t see, and he never says a word. This continues after his grandmother tells him about Kouji, when his mother asks him what was wrong he shakes it off and turns his concern to her.

This is because Kouichi isn’t the sort of person who burdens his feelings on other people. His mother was sickly enough that he didn’t want to trouble her with his own worries. Later, he furthers this, when he separates himself from the others and doesn’t tell them a word or even when he wants to face Cherubimon alone. He loves his mother and she’s always supported him, but in a way Kouichi grew up relying on himself because he didn’t want to bother her. In this way, he really is self-reliant which is what helps to make him so lonely and have trouble adjusting to the “team” (not nearly so much as Kouji, though).

Shy on initial meeting, once Kouichi gets to know the people around him better he opens up more. Neither twin are very social, but between the two Kouichi is the one more adept for people. His ideas of not burdening people with his own thoughts helps him to have a caring personality. While he doesn’t like others to figure out his own thoughts Kouichi has an eye in figuring out when something’s troubling those around him. Well, at least his twin brother at the very least.

On the flip-side, Kouichi becomes conflicted easily after being controlled by Cherubimon. He doesn’t understand why the others are nice to him and want to be friends after he tried to kill them. The fact he tries to kill his friends has a consistency of making Kouichi wary of his own actions. This is partly why he wanted to go after Cherubimon on his own. One, being the fact Cherubimon had controlled his conflictions and made him attack his friends, but there was always the possibility Cherubimon could control him again and he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from killing his friends.
