Character Name: Ritus Kasanoda (goes by Kasanoda)
Nicknames/Psuedonames: Casanova, Bossa Nova
Character Age or Age Appearance: 18
Race/Species: Human
Physical Description: Kasanoda has long red hair that goes just past the shoulders, wears a gold circular medallion, and almost always has a cold/stern expression on his face.
Distinguishing Features: Long red hair, his cold looking expression, is sometimes outdated form of dress (though he is getting better at this).
Personal History: Ritsu Kasanoda is the successor to the third generation master of the Kasanoda-gumi, the most powerful yakuza group in Kantô, Japan. He was raised at a young age to be the next leader so in effect most people see him as a very intimidating person and he has few friends because of it. Indeed, he's most well known for his long red hair and scary-looking face. Since Kasanoda's features have been intimidating since birth, his father claimed he had the right face to become the most frightening yakuza boss in history and actually trained him to appear tough and unapproachable. Kasanoda therefore initially doesn't talk much, though he can be angered easily. Despite his outward appearance and upbringing, he actually tends to be a kind person who enjoys helping others. His classmates know him as the feared "human blizzard".
Kasanoda initially seeks to apprentice under Morinozuka, hoping to become as respected and admired as he. He suffers some humiliations at the hands of the Host Club members, all out of a desire to learn how to make friends and be able to have fun with people. Later experiences concerning a member of his household named Tetsuya show him that there are already people at his home who know his good side - they just didn't mention it because they knew he is not only kind-hearted, but also shy and easily embarrassed.
Due to Kasanoda not knocking before entering, he has become the first person at Ouran High outside the host club to discover that Haruhi is a girl. He had a confused crush on her prior to learning she was a girl and consequently falls in love with Haruhi and attends the Host Club as a customer. However, when he tries to admit his feelings to Haruhi, he is rejected with no ill intent (even though Haruhi is usually quite adept when reading the emotions of others, she is usually quite clueless when others show a romantic interest in her), who considers him an understanding friend (this due to Kasanoda saying he had come to see her so Haruhi could talk to someone who knew her secret, so she could be at ease). Since Kasanoda has been told by Kyoya that Haruhi must appear to be male for 'special reasons', he resolves to not cause her any trouble by publicly stating they'll be friends forever, so she won't have to worry about being thought odd by associating romantically with him. Kasanoda, of course, does not realize that the 'special reasons' consist entirely of Haruhi's debt to the club. He joined the Gardening Society of the school.
Personality: Kasanoda is actually a very kind hearted and generous person. He worries about his faults and short commings. He hates violence even though he is very strong and the next in line to be leader of the Yakuza. Kasanoda keeps a diary and loves to read and write. His lack of friends kept him from knowing the latest trends and fashions as well as the newest forms of entertainment. Since coming to The Pathways he's also tried to catch himself up on modern day things such as video games, anime, and manga.
Magical Abilities/Special Skills: None. He's fairly strong and athletic, and has some sword training. He has what many call the "Blizzard Glance" which encases anyone who looks at him in ice.
Weaknesses: Since he has no friends, he isn't exactly up on trends or more common things like everyone else. He's just recently found out about anime and manga and he's played a few videogames but nothing too major since he has no friends to share his hobbies with.
Anime/Manga/Game Character is from: Ouran High School Host Club
Timeline: After Kasanoda finds out Haruhi is a girl. While walking home that day from school he is transported to The Pathways. He wants to get back as soon as possible...but at the same time, he's enjoying going to a school where people aren't quite so judging of him.
