Ryouta, for most of his life, lived with his parents, Hiroshi and Satoko. They rasied him with love and care like any loving parent should, and supported his interests. He was interested in ghosts at a young age, due to how they came across as secretive and mysterious.
School, on the other hand, was a mixed bag. While he did decently, he tended to be distant when it came to talking to other people due to his shyness. This, combined with his interest in ghosts, caused him to be viewed as "weird" by other classmates.
However, when he was fifteen, his father went missing, before being found dead almost a day later. The circumstances surrounding his murder were unknown, and the killer had yet to be found. The resulting situation drove Ryouta to stay in his room for an unprecidented amount of time, though eventually, he started to come back to school.
Today, Ryouta still lives with his mother and attends Kuroyami High, due to the low cost. Satoko is unaware of the school's reputation, and doesn't realise how badly it's affecting his mental state... though that might be because he's gotten better at hiding his emotions now.
However, it's not all bad: Ryouta does have Matsuko, who's become his closest friend, and he's currently the Occult Club's president. Sure, most of the club doesn't really do anything other than read, but it's better than nothing.
AbilitiesRyouta has the ability to see nearby ghosts. (wip)
