Summary:
A seemingly endless stream of energy, optimism, and happiness, Takashi Kogasa is an upcoming prospect who already has a relatively large following of fans, most of them barely old enough to race a kart. Despite never winning a single championship so far in his career, his infectious personality and joy for racing was enough to catch the attention a Japan Formula C team in 2011.
That same year, Takashi's mother brought her daughter Kaori into the world, making Takashi a big brother. Unfortunately, a genetic infection effected Kaori's spine, which prevented her from walking while she grew up. This did not deter either Takashi or Kaori's morale over the years; instead, it would strengthen them with unshakable determination.
When news of Kaori's condition and the story of her resolve hit the racing scene, Takashi became hugely popular with the younger racing fans in his prefecture. Takashi used some of his racing money to have a local plushie shop commission cutesy chibis of him, so that every one of his fans could have a piece of him to take home from the racing events.
Though his sister is living a full life with her family and friends, Takashi has made it his objective to never stop racing until his sister's condition is completely cured. While there are many things Takashi is happy with in his life, his sister included, Kaori is as much his pride and joy as she is to their parents, and Takashi just wants to be the best big brother she could have.
Roleplaying Notes:
- Takashi is the type of person who keeps his spirits up even if he's not doing well.
- Takashi is NOT fond of saying "Good-bye" or variants there of; when signing off or leaving to elsewhere, Takashi prefers phrases such as "See you!" or "Hope to see you again!"
- Takashi's speech and mannerisms are relatively child-like, but he is far from gullible. Though he keeps any malicious intent to himself, he can easily tell if he's being deceived.
- Despite his profession, Takashi is a massive softie. Dark, edgy humor easily runs afoul of him, and he absolutely hates jokes made exclusively at others' expense, especially if it involves the handicapped.
- At a tiny, tiny height of 4' 10", and with a rather petit form, it is very very easy to mistake Kogasa for a child... of either gender.
