Kai's past

A baby was born to one of the most well-known wealthy families in Tokyo, the Yamamoto family. This baby named Kai was very special. This is because he had a special quality. This quality of his, was that he could learn all sorts of things very quickly.

So he learnt quite a lot of languages, instruments, and, business tactics, since he was to be heir to his parents' company.

Unfortunately, his father passed away in the company while he was in a meeting. When he was sent to the hospital, it was found that he had apparently died of chronic stress and lack of sleep. His burial was to be on the day of his mother's day of return from her business trip.

A few weeks later, when his mother returned from the business trip, she was shocked when she received this depressing news. She attended her husband's funeral, but later fell into depression.

Kai, at the time, was merely fourteen. He had noticed his mother acting strangely for about two weeks. He decided to call their family doctor for a check up. The Doctor diagnosed her as depressed and gave her the contact information of a therapist he had connections with. His mother visited the therapist weekly and got a little better, yet, she seemed to still be having thoughts on suicide. So, she carried out her demon's wish.

A few days later, [after his mother's funeral], the company had no choice but to give him special training to become CEO in the future, once he reached the age of twenty. His aunt and uncle moved in to his house and claimed themselves as his guardians. They take care of the company for him, but sort of pay him for it in the form of salary [pocket money].

He is still in training, but somewhat helps around in the company. He is the Financial Advisor of the company. He takes care of the stock shares, and sometimes conducts meetings. He gets paid to do this. So he has about enough money to support himself, but is not old enough to buy a place for himself even with sufficient money, so his aunt bought the place he lives in and gave it to him under his name.

He can only inherit his parents' wealth when he reaches the age of twenty. So all he can do is earn money the way he is earning money right now. Although his aunt and uncle, and some other relatives of his were supportive of him when his parents passed away, he likes being independent. He doesn't want to be 'that one rich kid' who loves flaunting his parents' hard-earned money. He'd rather work his head off trying to repay their hard work, by working twice as hard.

The struggles he faced, led him to become the kind-hearted young gentleman he is right now. But, all of this also made him different from his classmates, which kind of always seemed like a gap between his classmates and him. It was as if he was out of everyone's league, is what all his classmates thought, but they did still talk to him, occasionally.

BONUS:

Kei has an odd sense of humor, and she is able to read people's emotions.

She struggles as a child who lives alone [and was not taken to an orphanage because an anonymous organization which her dad was once involved with (for a case) supported her financially, and one of their representatives signed up to be her guardian (only because they had to so she is not taken into orphanage)].

Kei was a smart girl ever since she was young. Her father was a detective, and he made her study criminology at a young age so she could continue his job. Her mom was a stand-up comedian, she made jokes on politics and facts of life. Being a stand-up comedian actually requires a lot of wit and observation skills. You have to be able to look at the tiny details and analyze them in such a way, that you are able to get the message through to the audience, via the joke. Kei inherited her mother's sarcastic nature. She is also a bit......... humorous.

Her father did emphasize a bit on wanting her to follow his footsteps and become a detective, but he and Kei's mom emphasized even more on her following her dreams.

Well, with the anonymous organization supporting her financially, she gets about enough money for her daily necessities. She sometimes entertains guests in bars by volunteering as a stand-up comedian, and earns money from this [this way, she isn't completely dependent on the anonymous organization].
