Age - 15

Blood Type - AB
Birth Place - Tokyo, Japan
Family - Mother: Aiko, Father: Hiroshi
Hobbies - Singing, sketching, sleeping
Abilities - Midori took a bit of Kendo when she was younger, but forgot most of it so she is dependant on just running away or wacking them with something close and hard.
Personality - Midori is what you call a ditz. She's extremely silly and so forgetful her friends back in Japan had to write down everything she had to do for her. Don't let those traits make you think she was a natural blonde, she's quite intelligent and does know when to stop her silliness most of the time. She's loyal to those who don't betray, and hostile to those who do.
Mini Biography - Midori has lived with her parents babying her so she isn't used to doing things herself. The reason behind her parents babying is because her mother had gotten pregnant twice before, but had a miscarriage with one and the other one died a few hours after birth due to breathing complications. She gets good grades to keep her parents, especially her mother, pleased. Midori's old New Years resolution was to get a boyfriend, but all the guys kept saying that she was the "Nice Girl", not the "Girlfriend". She gave up on that dream and decided to spend more time with her good friends from middle school.

Her only problem is that she is horrible with tests. She can study her heart out, but when it comes to the test, her mind leaves her. Hence why she is in Yotsubodai, rather than Jonan.
Mini Biography - Tatsuko is the only female out of her family, as her mother died a few hours after she was born, due to hemmoraging. She was raised by her father, who taught her as best he could.

Abilities - Being in the archery club, Ayame is pretty decent with a bow and some arrows.
Personality - Ayame is like the typical 'girl-next-door' kind of person. She's outgoing and benevolent, which makes her easy to approach and fun to be with. If she's ever quiet or sad, you would know something was wrong. She likes to be out, often the one in the group who drags them to a concert or the newest amusement park. Despite this, Ayame pulls in high grades that make people wonder how she does it. Though she's not big on homework, tests are her speciality as her memorization is rather good. She could have gone to Jonan, but she opted to go to Yotsubodai in order to be with her friends.
Mini Biography - Born and raised in a loving family, Ayame grew up and had a life better than others who had a rather bad childhood. With her father being the only male in her family, he and her mother were usually less strict than most families. With this, Ayame became the type who would be out a lot, and because her parents' only condition was that she get good marks, she stayed home when there was a test, skipping out on most of her homework. She met her friends in middle school and has been with them ever since.

The person who spent the most time with her, was her great-grandmother, telling her stories about the celestial warriors. Shinsei enjoyed spending time with her great-grandmother and often left her rrom late at night to listen to the stories. Thus, Shinsei knows about the warriors[but not Pangu]. Her parents were often working late, so Shinsei had to watch her brother a lot. She often sat outside her family's dojo, reading. Other times, she would be trying [and failing] to teach her friends some martial arts. When she was 11, and Shikyo was born, the Akiyamas moved to the opposite side of Tokyo, where she met most her friends. They went to the same middle school, and they've been with each other ever since.

Personality - Manipulative, he appears friendly and nice, though it is always a ploy. He will do anything to obtain an objective.
Mini Biography - The eldest child of Ryushi Yamazaki, Tatsuzo seemed to be a normal child. However, at the age of ten, he killed a boy his own age merely for doing something that was unpleasant for him. He was put into a juvenile detention center afterwards. During and after the event, Tatsuzo showed no remorse for his actions, which lead his parents to believe him to be quite mad. His father, angered at his son's actions, disowned him.

After several years, when Tatsuzo seemed to be rehabilitated, he was put into foster care, being taken in by another family as his own family did not wish for him to return. For the most part, the rest of his schooling seemed normal. That is, of course, until his final year of high school. Being a bright child, he was the Senior Class President and the head of the Bujitsu club, which he formed himself. During a fight with the Vice Captain of the Bujitsu club, Tatsuzo defeated him by ripping out his throat with his bare hands.

Afterwards, he disappears. He stayed on the lamb for about two years before finally having a run in with the Police. When the officer attempted to subdue him, Tatsuzo wrested the man's gun from him and used it to beat the officer to death. During the ensuing commotion, a black Sedan offers the escaping young man a ride, which he accepted. Once they are a safe distance away from the scene, Tatsuzo discovers he is in the midst of several members of the Yakuza, who wish him to join. An offer, which he accepts. Several years have passed since this point. Tatsuzo has developed a reputation, even in the Yakuza, as a cold blooded killer. He's considered to be one of the most reliable killers and usually only ends up doing work for Yakuza higher ups. While working with the Yakuza, he developed a facination with Haiku of the Samurai. In most respects, he follows the code of Bushido to the letter. He has never fired a gun, prefering to do all of his killing with either his hand or a blade.
