Japan

Country: Japan


 * ohmystarrylies; GMT-6


 * Human name: Kiku Honda


 * Age: 19


 * Birthday: February 11th


 * Personality: For the most part, calm and shy, and very appreciative of the things he has. He likes to be alone, though he also likes [polite] company [and, obviously, dislikes the loud, obnoxious house-wreckers]. Because of this, his lifestyle can be very stressful on him. However, he is collected the majority of the time. He is often the most mature in a situation, but because of being a shutin when he was younger, he doesn't know how to act in several situations. He lets very few people near him when he's doing something "personal" to him -- especially playing or writing music. His view on fame is neutral -- he craves his talent to be recognized; not so much to be in the limelight himself. He wants his music to make people happy. He also believes that he could lead a normal life, with love and pets and peace, alongside his fame, undisturbed. It is a naiive belief. He also refuses to believe that he will be "corrupted" by Hollywood.
 * History: He was born in a very traditional town in Japan. So, certain things about gender roles and culture, etc. are lost to him. This was influenced by the fact that he spent his life from age 6 to 14 locked inside his room, before he began to rediscover the world around him. His parents were detached from him -- he was more independent than even they were from everything. He began to travel from the town to the big cities; Tokyo, Nara, Okinawa, Kyoto. He became engrossed in technology and its wonders, and had bought himself a synthesizer/keyboard when he was 16 with money he had saved. He decided he wanted to become a musician. He began to teach himself English after visiting the cities and finding an abundance of English-speakers in various regions, and then begged his parents to let him move to the United States, where potential jobs were everywhere for aspiring musicians like himself, and they agreed to send him. He was delighted and quickly made a name for himself in Hollywood, California, where his dreams would certainly be fulfilled.
