Character:Notaku

Umezawa Kunemitsu was a Japanese High School graduate who entered High School in 1989 and graduated in 1992. Due to his father losing his job, he was unable to enter university, but his parents still expected him to succeed somehow and told him he "just wasn't trying hard enough". This would result in him committing suicide by train in November of 1992.

Post-Resurrection
Cut off from the traditions and expectations of both his parents and Japanese society in general, Umezawa immediately took up the offers of a free apartment and free university education. While attending classes at New Albion University, he made a somewhat unlikely friendship with fellow history student Yoon Seung-heon, a South Korean who had died in a plane crash.

Seung-heon and Umezawa shared few interests at first, but as they got to know each other, they would inherit new hobbies and interests from each other, including Umezawa gaining a love of K-Pop and Seung-heon becoming a fan of manga. While both remain friends to this day, Seung-heon moved to Tobermory shortly after graduating.

They would often meet in the Library of Virtually Everything on Gaian holidays to read manga and watch American cartoons. Even Umezawa showing off his new anime-style avatar and Seung-heon coming out of the closet as a woman-born-as-a-man (both in the same day) didn't change anything, other than creating a better respect for women in Umezawa that he hadn't had in the Old Real. To this day, Notaku tends to try to protect women around him out of a sense of guilt over how he had treated women after initially ending up in the New Real, sometimes accidentally shielding women who were genuinely terrible people from the consequences of their actions.

Avatar
Notaku, being a massive anime geek, has a sophiological avatar of an anime hero. The only problem is, when we say "anime hero" we really just mean Kirito look-alikes.

He has a pair of spiral anime glasses he wears when he wants to differentiate himself from all the other Kirito look-alikes and from other Weeaboo avatars in general, and fires ki blasts from his palms.
