Role assigned to: TunnelBerg

(Kyou-skay Mah-tsoo-moe-toe)

Kyosuke doesn’t really remember what his past was before waking up at Daylight University, other than his name and what his favorite drink is, green tea. He doesn’t understand what his talent means. Kyosuke strives to find out who he is, and why he ended up in this campus. He is generally kind in spite of his amnesia, showing interest and willingness to cooperate with anyone he encounters. He can be a bit rude at times, due to his oblivious nature, but generally means well. He has also shown high levels in critical thinking and examination.

Voice Range: Mid to Mid-high

  • (Narrating) That was the last memory I had before passing out again. In fact... That's the only memory I have at all. Who was that guy? Where was I? ...Who am I? why can I not remember anything? Why was I there?

  • Oh. I'm guessing that's his talent then. But why does he act like he's such a big deal? He just dresses up and gives out alcohol.

  • I was just being honest, but thank you. What's your name?

Souji has put a hiatus on high school before becoming the most successful host in Shinjuku within 6 months of becoming 20, quickly becoming a celebrity in the urban areas for his charismatic entity despite his usual personality, even getting some appearances on TV shows.

  • No worries, you wouldn't really see me on it nowadays anyway. Guess the public doesn't really get a kick out of me anymore. You could say my air time got me an air ball, if you know what I mean.!

  • Indeed. Kenta Watanabe, Ultimate Professional Wrestler and currently Neo Japan Pro Wrestling's Junior Heavyweight Champion.

  • Yes. But you narrow your field of view by looking at wrestling in such a closed-minded way. It's a form of art, and I've mastered that art to the ppint that the company trusts me to be the face of a division.
