- Growing into a fine young man, bearing a lean muscular physique and a charming face, not to mention how he react to things which other finds entrancing. Having black unkempt short hair and a clean look only adds to his charm. His facial expression always straight but whenever he shows any other emotion, his faces seems to be the best way to express itself, showing full and true emotion - may it be laughter or even a genuine smile.
- His usual clothing is consists of clean and normal in a sense. Wearing a black leather trench coat that goes down to his hips, having six buttons in front and a pocket on each side. A white long-sleeved polo beneath it with the arms extending further than the trench coat itself. Combined with simple black slacks and a pair of black shoes to match. When the weather is rather sunny or outright hot, he tunes down by switching out his trench coat with a simple black vest.
- He also likes to keep it fancy every now and then, adorning his clothing with some silver - chains, rings, or even a pocketwatch to keep track of time for some utility. All for simple aesthetics but rarely does so and prefers to keep it clean when only necessary.

[*] Kou is a bit complicated despite his simple appearance. Growing as a street rat in his childhood and a thief after his incident, he knew the harsh rules of life for survival. Developing an unconditional need to look back and around himself, a keen awareness and the reflex to react accordingly, almost unnecessarily but a growing instinct itself.
[*] Unknowingly a strategist at heart, Kou gathers every single possibility that may happen in a situation and taking things into account before doing anything rash or tackling the problem, even if it means the slightest of issues, he always had an alternative ready whenever it is needed. Though he can be a manipulative, using small-scale favors that will benefit himself on the long run, attempting to earn trust in every way possible which many interpret as being friendly.
[*] More of a down-to-earth guy and the type who only talks if talked too or when he finds it necessary to do so. Stemming from his conditional restrain he placed himself from providing sudden inputs or information to others, seeing it as a hassle if it were to conflict with another being's opinion and preferring to follow what majority would do but independent enough to decide for his own if he finds the solution unnecessary or outright stupid. In terms of love, he's not clueless at all but would prefer to keep it quiet, simply laughing at some sexual innuendos or even playing along whenever someone flirts him, knowing his fate as it is, he already knows what would happened but he isn't afraid to be in a relationship when he finds it relaxing.
[*] Like others, he has vices but not the extreme ones, a smoker and a drinker with whatever his wallet brings him, enjoying parties and bars with his friends. On a lighter side, he enjoys aimless wondering or merely relaxing beneath a tree overlooking a great scenery, if ever he can find one that is.
[*] In a fight, Kou is calm but he's no exception to things that would otherwise cause him to lose focus when certain conditions have reached. Utilizing the environment to his advantage and mainly relying on his speed and tricks to overpower his foes as he sees fit. Though he prefers to keep things less bloody which was proven near impossible from his experience, he does so as much as possible, using words to sway things if needed and what not.
[*] Despite his realistic view of the world itself, seeing pain and death as common visitors. Kou still retains most of his humanity, sharing laughter with his friends and even doing reckless yet fun things, the common things you would see in a scenario when your life is not being threatened in every step
[col][legend="• H I S T O R Y •"][spoilername="Summary"]Born in a chaotic village near the Village Hidden in Leaf whereas drunkards, murderers and thieves roamed freely in broad daylight, his parents were killed at a young age due to some monetary problems, he was took up by his uncle who lived in the slums of their village, a former "shinobi" of Leaf before he left after failing the academy graduation multiple times in his younger years, now forced to scrape food crumbs in the ground and what not to feed themselves just to survive. His uncle who would constantly call himself as the "Greatest Thief" alive, would often find trouble resulting in further problems for Kou. Although he did managed to learned a few basic and useful tricks from his uncle, even the basics of chakra although he had a hard time understanding him during their sessions. Kou then started his career as a thief at a young age.
Everyday he would try steal from passing travelers along with his uncle, using whatever means drama to keep them busy while the other does the job until one of their heists turned for worst, resulting the death of his uncle at the hands of some shinobi disguised as a traveler. Although he was spared from being turned into a corpse, he and his uncle were mocked for their "petty party tricks", and the only reason his uncle was killed is because he had no talent whatsoever.
This faithful event fueled something inside Kou, a mixed emotion of rage and petty, the need to improve himself and show the shinobi what's true talent looks like. He could only weep crocodile tears for his uncle as somewhere inside him, he did really sucked but still didn't deserved to die, nobody does. Packing his stuff, he became a traveling thief - learning and improving himself with every opportunity he could take, stealing things to make his life a bit more livelier that it was before.[/spoilername][/legend]|[legend="• A R C S •"][spoilername="Mercenary Logs"]
