...down and out is where you oughta stay.
public bio
‘nori’, the idol mechanic, is an elusive figure. he is practically impossible to get a hold of for interviews, and what little interaction with the press he does give is often less than descriptive in terms of his private life. ever since surfacing from seemingly nowhere as an employee at an auto repair shop in downtown yokohama, he’s gained a small following of loyal customers, typically auto enthusiasts and racers who have depended on him for vital, last-minute repairs.
since having taken over ownership of the old repair shop, his minor renown has only grown, along with his apparently quite noteworthy repair skills and knowledge of automobiles. while he is difficult to track down due to the rundown and out of the way location of the shop and his own immense commitment to privacy, it’s not impossible to find him, as long as you know where to look.
personality
nori is a striking sight, walking down the streets he occupies. they all know his name, but not many dare to approach, except for business. tall and strong, swathed in bandages and dripping with dirt and grease, his appearance and resting expression of stoic, harsh indifference might frighten off any potential customers, if not for his reputation amongst those who have actually patronized his shop.
he is a man of few words, preferring to get his point across in jerky gestures and grunts. what few words he does speak, he deliberates long on, sometimes lingering in the middle of sentences while he searches for the right thing to say. luckily, actions speak louder than words, especially to patrons of tora's auto - nori is known among locals and car enthusiasts across evesray as hardworking, reliable, and steadfast in his dedication to his work. if you ask nori to get something done, he'll do it, and he'll do it right.
if only everything in life were as simple as fixing cars.
