Overview
A soporific basketball star. While seemingly scary and imposing at first glance, Taiga is the type who does not talk too much and rather minding his own business. He is also quite harsh with his words, has no sense of humor, and a bit temperamental due to his inferiority complex issue. Despite that, he is quite obedient if he gets close and comfortable with another person, and rather withdrawing himself from engaging with others than making troubles. He is also nicer towards kids, although he doesn't try to. He is very lethargic and hard to be motivated when it comes to anything but basketball, gaming, and udon, his main interests.
Taiga is a towering man with a slightly muscular build. He has short, spiky blonde hair and emerald green eyes, and his skin complexion is olive. He dons black and gray polo shirt, short cargo pants with military camouflage pattern, and black trekking sandals. He wears a dog tag and has some piercings in his left ear as accessories.
