Profile
Kiyoshi Karasuma
"I want to be able to do things right this time. For real."
A 13-year-old with a shady past and a past life, Kiyoshi's got a lot on his plate and always has. Born to parents who are a whole lot more successful than he feels he'll ever be, he carries an inferiority complex and a tenancy to get down on himself. He's jumpy, judgemental, and has a hair-trigger temper, albeit mostly directed at himself. He's not all flaws, though. He's smart, quick wited, and kind: proving that despite his many flaws he's a good-hearted kid who just genuinely wants to help people. And he feels his friends bring out the very best in him.
Especially surprising considering not too long ago they were his foes. In the life before this one Kiyoshi was a truly cruel person who tormented his friends with glee, and he still carries that weight with him. Despite his past, however, he does everything in his power to not only be kind but to spit in the face of the man he once was... and he'd like to think he's succeeding. He's been given this second chance for a reason, and he'll always be thankful not only to said chance, but also to all the people who molded him into the person he is now in the first place.

Personality
Intelligent
Kiyoshi is clever and analytical. While he doesn't give himself enough credit for it, he excels both in school and in other areas. Perhaps this is simply spurred on by his tenancy to overworry, but his intelligence isn't just limited to practical scenarios. He's also sensitive, thoughtful, and philisophcal alongside being a quick thinker.
Anxious
Kiyoshi is just about the most anxious person on the planet. Suffering from both a general anxiety disorder and social anxiety he's jumpy, generally nervous, and quick to to worry. He's aware that these thoughts are irrational for the most part and is learning to quell them but sometimes that's easier said than done.

Insecure
Alongside being generally anxious Kiyoshi is a deeply insecure person. He fears he's annoying at best and cruel at worst, especially compared to others. This can cause him to assume that people will dislike him as much as he dislikes himself and self-isolate. But he's working on teaching himself that he is actually loved.

Summary
Early life
Kiyoshi was born to a family he didn't particularly fit in with. He came out crying and has been crying ever since-- quite a sharp contrast to his professionalist parents. His mother and father were agents for the Japanese government and a duo known as Irina and Tadaomi Karasuma. They fell in love many years ago while on a mission together: namely being assigned to take out a man known as Korosensei... a person who's hung over Kiyoshi's entire life and an 'uncle' he's never met.
When he wasn't a crying baby Kiyoshi was mad. He spent most of his first year kicking, biting, and otherwise causing trouble for everyone around him. He soon cooled down with age however and grew into a content-- if still stubborn-- toddler who was happy with himself for a short while. He was given a pet dog at age three-- a Samoyed he named Taro and his best friend to this day.
Kiyoshi was popular among his elemtary school peers. Still thinking he was a cis woman at the time, he took after his mother and flirted with the boys of his class. While this annoyed some, for the most part he was idolized. And it's only later that the cracks in his personality started to show.
The first sign, perhaps, was his clinginess. He was hesitant to leave his mother and father at all times, even knowing his popularity. And in some ways he dreaded school. This was made especially worse by the fact that as he got older his parents were home less and less. Busy with their jobs they left him to his own devices, and he realized he hated the feeling of being alone.
Soon he grew out of his flirtatious ways. His classmates appreciated it less and less as they got older and crueler, and he realized that he didn't particularly enjoy it either. It was a coping mechanism and his first way of trying to fit in: copying the mom he looked up to. But as he lost her attention he quickly lost ability in his confidence to grab his classmates' and soon retreated into his shell. Realizing just how boring he was, especially compared to his secret agent parents, he went from an outgoing boy to someone who prefered not to be noticed. And it turns out this was pretty much always inevitable.
At age eight he was diagnosed with a general anxiety disorder-- something coming from his dad's side of the family. And just in time. His anxieties over not only how he was percieved by his peers and parents, but the world as a whole quickly grew. He became paranoid and jumpy... alongside suffering from frequent night terrors and self-degrading thoughts. He was put on anxiety medication, which helped somewhat, but the truth is the root of the matter was never adressed. While his parents loved him and were quick to shower him with affection when they had the time, they refused to accept their accountability in his worsening mental health.
Thankfully things weren't always bad for Kiyoshi. While his home life was far from perfect he did have an okay relationship with his parents. And he wasn't always left alone. His parents' former students-- a group known as the E-Class often babysat him. And while this never quite filled the void of being unable to earn their attention specifically, he was aware that he was loved. The E-Class taught him many various skills... causing him to become a jack of all trades. In particular he picked up a passion for science-- something learned from Okuda and Takebayashi... and dreamed of becoming a future STEM Major. He was thankful to the E-Class for their attention and time. And in some ways he saw them as his family even more than his parents... spending more time around them and all.
At age ten he came out as transgender. He thankfully had a rolemodel in this considering that one of the aformentioned E-Class students-- a man known as Nagisa Shiota was trans as well. He actually came out to Nagisa before his parents... not out of any fear of transphobic rejection, but rather out of a fear that they wouldn't care much at all. When he announced he was a boy he was met with warm reception, however nothing much about his life changed as a whole... and he was even left doubting if he was actually a boy or just trying to get his dad's attention.
However the identity stuck... and he realized he was much happier staying a man. While his dad never took him fishing or taught him to play catch he was still able to express himself much more freely. And his parents did try to do what they could. His mom even helped him pick out the name Kiyoshi-- meaning pure: a title that he still treasures.
As he got older his complicated relationship with his parents only grew stranger. He realized that there was a very real risk of them dying overseas and this began to haunt him. Each time they headed out on a mission he was fraught with worry... however there was very little they could do about this. It's not like they could quit their jobs. And as such they simply reassured him that everything would be okay-- something that felt empty to Kiyoshi. In some ways he began to resent them for this. While he'd always seek their approval, Kiyoshi became deeply unsatisfied, and an analytical, reproachful person on top of a nervous one. Yes. As he grew older and older there was a surefire unhappiness with his life.
He never made many friends outside of his E-Class aunts and uncles. While both they and his parents would encourage him to try he was simply too convinced his classmates would already hate him. And as such he spent the rest of his elementary school years in an unmonumental haze. Because of this and his generally worsening self-esteem he was Constellate Junior High entering middle school: an institution run by Nagisa that would hopefully be able to better his mental health. Kiyoshi sincerely doubted this would help much, but complied anyways... telling himself that this was the year he'd finally get better. And thus his story truly begun.

Makoto
[ best friend (later boyfriend) ]
Makoto is Kiyoshi's best friend and cheerleader. Infamously the one person who's able to make him feel good about himself, Kiyoshi treasures Makoto's presence and makes sure to tell him this often. They have a amiable, banter-filled relationship, and while they've certainly had to overcome a few hurdles to get this far they wouldn't trade one another for the world. Makoto's the one who helps Kiyoshi let loose and try new things and he'll always appreciate that.
Fumiko
[ best friend ]
If Makoto is Kiyoshi's cheerleader then Fumiko is his rock. Their relationship is slightly more troubled than his and Makoto's due to their pasts, but ultimately it's still healthy and they're working on feeling safe around one another again. Their bond is one built on trust and understanding, and they treasure that in one another more than they'd like to admit. She helps him keep his head on his shoulders and he'd gladly consider her his best friend as well.
