Kazuya conceals his thinking behind his respectful smile. His courteous speech habits and refusal to utter something—the latter observable even when attacked or ambushed—mirror having grown up where fronts mattered more than everything. Apologies come naturally to him, even when he isn't at fault, and he'd rather just not fight so that he can keep the tenuous peace he's managed to establish around himself. Behind the passive exterior is an individual attempting to be honest, even though he hasn't yet figured out how to be honest with himself.

Kazuya was raised in a high-profile home with parents who were often in the spotlight. He was instructed from a young age to maintain a polished image and was frequently scrutinized. Despite his achievements, he battled anxiety and the worry of being discovered as a fraud. Despite his fabricated identity, he yearned for genuine connections and relationships, but his upbringing and public reputation made it difficult for him to establish them.

Kazuya's voice is deeper, soft, and understated.
