Kaito Arashi – The Sleeping Beast
Age: 17
Height: 6'1" (185 cm)
Build: Lean, muscular, and battle-hardened. His body is a product of brutal, lifelong training, built for efficiency rather than aesthetics. Scars lace his knuckles and ribs, silent proof of countless battles.
Appearance:
Hair: Jet black, slightly messy, always falling over his sharp, predatory eyes.
Eyes: Cold, lifeless gray — the gaze of someone who has seen and done things no teenager should have. When provoked, his eyes turn into something terrifying, like a beast assessing its prey.
Clothing Style: Wears plain, loose-fitting clothes to avoid attention. His casual posture hides the fact that his muscles are tense, ready to snap into action. Always keeps his hands in his pockets to suppress his reflexive urge to fight.
Personality:
Cold and Detached: Kaito rarely speaks unless necessary. Years of forced combat have stripped away his ability to connect emotionally. He doesn't smile, laugh, or engage in typical teenage activities.
Calculating and Tactical: In a fight, Kaito doesn't simply brawl — he dissects. His mind works like a computer, analyzing weaknesses, calculating optimal counters, and delivering devastating results.
Suppressing the Beast: Kaito is constantly at war with himself. He hates his own strength, seeing it as a curse. Every time he fights, the thrill of combat tempts him to embrace the monster his grandfather created.
Hidden Kindness: Despite his cold demeanor, Kaito has a buried sense of justice. He despises bullies and will step in when someone helpless is targeted, though he denies any heroism.
Fighting Style:
Mixed Martial Arts Mastery: Kaito is proficient in boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, and street fighting. His style is not flashy — it's deadly efficient. No wasted movement, no mercy.
Killer Instinct: Kaito's true gift is his ability to "flip a switch." When provoked, he enters a predatory mindset where his body moves without hesitation — every punch is intended to maim, every hold is meant to break bones.
Fear Factor: The moment Kaito starts fighting seriously, his opponent can feel it — the overwhelming presence of a predator. Many fighters freeze in sheer terror when they meet his gaze.
Weakness:
Emotional Scar: Kaito doesn't want to fight. Every time he uses his strength, he's reminded of his dark past and his grandfather's monstrous ideology.
Suppressing Power: He intentionally fights below his full power to avoid killing or permanently maiming someone — but when pushed too far, his full potential is terrifying.
Loneliness: Despite his strength, Kaito is profoundly lonely. His inability to connect with others, coupled with his violent past, leaves him isolated. He longs for a normal life but believes he's unworthy of it.
Nickname: The Sleeping Beast
Given by those who witnessed his overwhelming strength during his underground fighting days. It refers to his monstrous combat skill, always restrained — but when awakened, he's unstoppable.
