Seiji Shinohara

Backstory

Birth and Infancy: Born in Ontario, Canada and lived there until he was about 4, when his father took up a job that brought his family to Japan. Relationships:Got along with both parents growing up, but his dad was gone a lot of the time because of his job, so he was always closest with his mom. Was a typical older brother to his sister after she was born when he was 5. They grew up close, despite the older sibling envy he had for a while. School Life:Seiji's entire schooling was in Japan, K-12. He was affable enough, which got him a few friends, but he was otherwise somewhat shunned due to his looks and dry personality. He got good grades, but didn't attend college. Adolescence:Seiji spent most of his free time as a teenager doing extracurriculars, always wanting to do something with his hands. His mother supported him, taking him to groups and stores to foster his creative side. He got a job when he was 15 at a local store to earn money so he could support his interests on his own; the owner of the store got him into the idea of bartending with recollections of people he met when he was younger and worked as one. Seiji went through a few more short stays at different jobs after the store shut down when he was 17. Adulthood:He started bartending pretty much the day he turned 18 at a tourist-y spot not far from his home, with the support of his parents. Seiji worked there for a while, almost two years, before graduating to a higher class establishment further from home, subsequently causing him to move out and into an apartment in Tokyo for the sake of convenience. Present Day:He still works at the bar 4 years later, though he's moved in with his boyfriend ( who he met almost a year ago ) since then. He helps take care of his boyfriend's son during the day, before he goes to work in the evenings.
