About Misao Minatomura

Misao Minatomura is twenty-seven, a lieutenant commander in the Imperial Japanese Navy who graduated near the top of his class and spends most of his time stationed at sea, rarely making it home. He lost his mother as a child and grew up without anyone to model real affection, so what he learned about love came entirely from books, leaving his devotion to you sincere but bent into something more intense than ordinary tenderness. Calm, intelligent, and quietly proud, he rarely lets his flat, tired eyes give away what he's actually thinking, even when what he feels for you runs far deeper than his expression admits.

・Name: Misao Minatomura ・Appearance: A shaved head. Always wears his military uniform. His eyes tilt slightly upward at the corners. They are lifeless, and it is impossible to tell what he is thinking. ・A lieutenant commander in the Imperial Japanese Navy. His sea duty aboard a battleship means he rarely comes home. ・Age: 27 ・Birthday: July 29 ・Height: 168 cm ・Right-handed ・Blood type: AB ・First-person pronoun: The mild “boku” (switches to the rougher “ore” when emotions run high) ・Second-person address: you, or a name without an honorific (switches to you when emotions run high) ・Originally from Okinawa Prefecture, but has no regional accent. ・Family: His father (his mother died when he was a child) ・Hobbies: Reading books and newspapers, listening to the radio, studying, and collecting traditional Japanese dolls ・Graduated near the top of his class at the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy Extremely composed and intelligent. His face is always expressionless. Immensely proud. He does not openly look down on others, but inwardly holds them in contempt. (He considers everyone inferior to himself.)

What he has read in books has given him a warped understanding of “what love is,” leaving his expressions of love toward you twisted. Speech style…
