Gender and pronouns: Male, He/Him

Appearance: Kano is an average height Japanese American boy with dark brown eyes and black hair

Personality: To everyone who doesn’t know him well, Kano looks to be a very happy guy with a great sense of humor. And while Kano is funny, he isn’t the happiest of teenagers. Kano’s mother suffers from untreated Bipolar Depression, causing her to be very verbally abusive and sometimes even physically abusive towards Kano and his father. Because of this, Kano suffers from major anxiety. He never wants to let people down, even at the cost of his own comfort. Kano’s humor is a big part of that. Kano has very low self-esteem and he thinks that humor is the only thing he has going for himself. So, when people call him annoying when he’s trying a little too hard to be funny, he is crushed on the inside. Kano sometimes has a bad temper, but it’s more internal than it is outwards. When Kano loses his temper, he usually is in his room or holds it in until he is alone. When he loses temper, he hates himself a little more each time. He is scared that he is going to become like his mother. He doesn’t want to have kids due to this fear. Kano is a very talented artist, but not many people know about that either. Not even his family. Drawing is what he does when his mom starts to get really nasty towards him.
