About

Upon seeing his child-like face, you would not believe he's a highschool student if it wasn't for the uniform. His thin nose and bright, freckled skin gives him a young appereace, further accentuated by his grey hair and eyes. His natural hair color, however, is black. He has four piercings on each ear. Someone who doesn't know Haruhiko could claim that his gaze is heavy, even cold at times, strange for his soft features. This is because the height of his eyebrows makes him look as if he was scowling.
This delinquent appereance contrasts with his image of the responsible captain of the kendo club. He wears his school uniform properly, save for wearing no tie and loosening his shirt's collar. His kendo uniform he always wears perfect. And when he's wearing his casual clothes he prefers simple pattern or band t-shirts, with jeans and tennis shoes. And apart from using bolder piercings he likes wearing bracelets.

Positive attributes

  • Defensive style in kendo.
  • Observant

Negative attributes

  • Predjudiced
  • Superstitious

His classmates and other members of the kendo club can confirm that Haruhiko is a kind and dedicated person, even if he tries to manage everything by himself. He's charismatic enough to be friendly with everyone, but it's obvious he isn't one for social settings. As if it wasn't enough, there are certain rumours that he was a troublemaker and used to get into a lot of fights, tainting his reputation. His bluntness makes him difficult to approach too. BeFing so honest is inconvenient for him sometimes, as he lacks tact. Not to mention he's quick to distrust and jugde people. It's not like he has a great sense of humor either, he doesn't care for jokes or doens't understand them. He ends up being a loner, mostly. He doesn't even have a phone to talk to his friends, and prefers to see them face to face.
Regardless of it all, Haruhiko never stopped being kind and attentive. He helps others when he sees they are in trouble and he volunteers when there's an errand to run. Whatever he says or does will never be with ill intention. He doesn't have a reason for acting wrong anymore.

Haruhiko is deeply devoted to his club, kendo is something important to him; that is why he also applies to his studies. He is recognized as an awesome leader, capable of setting an goal for the team and focusing everyone on meeting their goals. His teachers consider him a good student, who uses his wit more than his logic. It is not weird to catch him reading or hearing music in the free study periods, turns out kendo and music are his only interests. He literally has nothing else to do.

Despite looking calm, he is quite energetic and likes being outdoors. When sitting down without anything to do his eyes search for entertainment, which has made him quite observant. The concept of the fighting spirit in kendo is fascinating to him. In combat, his opponents describe his aura as "unpredictable". He quickly learns how to take control of the fight and dominate his opponent. He seeks to defend himself and tire the enemy, looking for an opening to strike a point. His bearing is certain and assertive, although his trainer, who has a good eye, can see certain insecurity in him, at times.

Haruhiko believes in his own strength and trusts himself before others; in reality, he doesn't like depending on people. He is in fact, very hard on himself. He doesn't forgive his own mistakes and he worries he might make the circumstances worse. Since he was young he's always been told he only brings trouble, so he ended up believing it at some extent. He can become very insecure and might have difficulty to find his path once more. He also keeps things to himself, he's not open to anybody; even his grandpa struggles to make him talk about what's troubling him.

When he gets nervous, Haruhiko usually attempts to play with his fingers and adverts his gaze around. If he had a piece of paper or something fragile, he would break it apart to get by stress. When he gets angry, he does not forgive and he can be vengeful. If he's already distrustful, annoying him will make him never treat you the same way.

Something interesting about him is that he's very superstitious. If you tell him a story he will probably believe it. Since he was a little kid, anecdotes of the inexplicable and spirits, good or bad, have been real to him. He never grew out of that, and it makes you feel sorry for him.

In general, when you look at him walking down the school hallways or the street, he carries a heavy atmosphere around him full of uncertainty. It seems as if he's always looking at the world from afar. When he speaks his voice is even and has an unexpected conviction. If he said a lie, you wouldn't see it coming. You even wouldn't see him, if so he desired so.

Background

When Haruhiko was very young, his parents passed away. He ended up in the hands of close relatives, uncles or cousins of his parents, who never managed to integrate him well into their own families. Haruhiko was an energetic child and didn't like to pay attention. He got into trouble for climbing trees, getting insects inside the house, splashing everything with mud; mischief that any kid could very well have done. But nobody wanted to have to bear with a tireless child that was not theirs.

So, Haruhiko went from hand to hand. As time went on, he realized that people treated him differently than other children. They'd get annoyed at him for things that did not get other kids into trouble, like running around the garden or making innocent questions. In worst cases he would get grounded in a room, so the people taking care of him didn't have to worry a bout him for a while; he wasn't able to spend all the energy he had and he had trouble falling asleep for that. They did not pay him the same attention as the others either, his hair started to get long and they didn't care if he had ate sometimes. Simultaneously, he also changed elementary schools several times. This caused him not to learn how to get along with other children of his age, and this awoke rumors about how his parents abandoned him and that he was alone because he brought bad luck. Just things that young children say. Haruhiko has always had a fragile mood, and when kids started to annoy him he got angry and started getting into fights. Which ended up giving him even more problems with those who cared for him. The stress of having a life so restless and full of resentments ended up causing some gray hairs at those early years. He came to understand that he must be strong in order to protect himself, now he believes that it is the stronger who prevail among adversities. But in the back of his mind, Haruhiko also got the insecurity that everything bad that happened to him was his fault, that if nobody wanted him, it was because he created troubles all the time.

By the time he was about halfway through middle school, Haruhiko had a reputation for being a stubborn brat. He ended up making friends with the delinquents of the class, and became somewhat of a rebel. They used to go around town making pranks and wall writings. They pierced their ears together and dressed in black ans spikes, they even had plans for tattoos but that never happened. Haruhiko wasn't a bad kid, he considered it was all mischief, from those friends he learned what true friendship and loyalty felt like. He was finally part of something, accepted. But soon he had to say goodbye because once again, he was left in the hands of another person. This time, it was an old man named Kurita who decided to take care of him on his own, instead of being pushed into it like most people.

Grandpa Kurita was just as stubborn as Haruhiko when they met for the first time, determined to stand his ground against the little punk. He was very old, he lived alone and he knew what Haruhiko had been through; despite not knowing the boy's parents well, he decided that someone had to take care of him correctly. So, grandpa Kurita put all of his efforts into straightening Haruhiko, who never before had felt what it's like for someone to work hard for him. They had a harsh start, but they managed to understand each other once they started living together.

Haruhiko may have been rude and distrustful, but he has always been kind and he believes in returning favors. So, he decided that if Grandpa Kurita really wanted to take care of him, he also had to make an effort. After all, he couldn't take out his temper in an old man who only had good intentions. Haruhiko got deeply attached to grandpa Kurita. With him, he learned to be responsible and to know what's the value to life; he was filled with aspirations and decision, and finally, he learned to have a home to treasure.

At that point, when he was about to leave middle school, Haruhiko's gray hair was very evident. It wasn't a dense greying, but in someone so young and dark-haired like him it was clear and obvious. He hated it, it reminded him of how unpeaceful his life had been up until that point. Then, he had the idea to dye his hair gray and make it dissapear. When he commented this to grandpa Kurita, he argued that this would help him leave his chaotic past behind at last, and that he felt that way he would be ready for a new beginning. Grandpa Kurita was fully convinced and glad his new child was deciding to move on, he thought allowing this would help him become a better person; and he then convinced the school authorities to give Haruhiko special treatment for his appereance. Also, Haruhiko decided to keep using earrings, simply because he likes them.

Soon after, it was time for Haruhiko to enter high school. His grandpa had been telling him about the kendo club and the fighting spirit for a while, and how he also practiced kendo at his age. Haruhiko quickly became interested in the club, and believing in the strength of his spirit catched his eye. He wanted to get stronger to be able to protect himself and what he loves. Thus, from the moment he entered classes he sought to join it. Also, his grandfather warned him that to stay in the club he had to improve his grades, so Haruhiko promised to study more. That promise was sealed with his granpa gifting him his first shinai.

Now, already in his second year, it seems as if Haruhiko had grown so much. He became the captain of the kendo club for being the best kendoka of his generation, he took pride in the effort he put toget the title and is determined to give his best for kendo. He still believes that he must keep getting stronger, to protect what he treasures, but rather, he wants to be strong so he doens't cause any more trouble that would lead him to separate from his grandpa. There's no way he is going to loose his happiness now that he has found it.
