| A neat and orderly model student, a cold-hearted laddering machine.[2] |

|---|
| An elegant and polite role model 3rd year high school student that declines all love letters that are presented to him. Every day after school, he will refuse all offers to hang out, rushes home as fast as he can, turns on his PC, loads a mysterious game called Dota2, and then throws himself into the relic war that he has been involved in for more than ten years. His concentration and dedication for the game far exceeds the energy he put into his studies.[4] |
Appearance[]
He has short white hair and light blue eyes and a black gakuran jacket with gold accents with a grey pattern.
As a streamer[]
Kouichi is best known for streaming Dota 2 content. He is well-versed as a commentator and analyst of the complex MOBA game. He almost never miss a Dota 2 tournament and will do live commenting on stream as he watch the game. This can mean very odd hours for the Chinese time zone as those tournaments are often held outside China.
When he is not streaming Dota 2 he likes to talk about go.
Kouichi is an emotionally mature person and can feel much older than his peers, possibly because his interests and tastes appeal to an aged group, and often uses educated language.[5][6]

The Zipper Incident Saga
- 2021 episode (As recounted by Roi and Aza): After the first VirtuaReal Music MIXUP!!, the performing livers left through the emergency exit stairway. Roi was walking at the front. When he looked back, he noticed Kouichi’s zipper was down. The reason for this may have been a combination of the trousers being old, having moved around a lot and the livers having to change quickly. Roi zipped it up for him, which was witnessed by a very shocked Aza, who had been rubbing Kouichi's belly a moment earlier.[23]
- 2022 episode (As recounted by Roi and Mayumi): After the Zipper Incident from last year became a popular VR meme, Kouichi was determined to prevent the same thing repeating at the 2nd VirtuaReal Music MIXUP!! by wearing a pair of sturdy trousers. In trying to break the ice at dinner, Roi jokingly began to ask Kouichi about his zipper, but caught sight of Kouichi's unzipped trousers before he finished speaking. Afraid to put Kouichi on the spot, Roi stopped himself and instead pointed it out to Aza next to him. As Aza didn't notice, Roi went and zipped it aup. Aza then pulled it back down, then Roi zipped it up, then Aza pulled it down. This repeated and was witnessed by Mayumi from across the table, who looked like she didn't feel too good. However, she was drinking soup and even though she was looking, she had been spacing out.[24]
