Personality And Interests
A quiet and hard-working man, Kiku does not know very much about the outside world and needs time to adjust to other people. His distinct island customs may seem mysterious to others, though he finds them perfectly normal. He tends to have the behavior of an "old man" and was a hermit for the longest time.
Relationships
Wang Yao (China)
Main Article: Wang Yao
Having been discovered by Yao as a small child, he was raised by the older boy and taught how to use kanji, which he used to create the hiragana alphabet from. Kiku eventually turned on him and attacked him with a sword, leaving him with a disfiguring scar on his back.
Im Yong Soo (South Korea)
Main Article: Im Yong Soo
The two don't get along very well, Yong Soo claiming to hate him but always copying his style and taking credit for others' work (even going as far to claim that "tsundere" originated in Korea). He also has an unusual obsession with wanting to touch Kiku's "breasts".
